Harburg Castle

Harburg Castle is located in Harburg, Bavaria, Germany. The extensive medieval complex was built in the 11thand 12th centuries and sits high upon a hill overlooking the town. The castle served as a military stronghold during the reign of the Staufer Kings and was once referenced as the Staufer Imperial Castle. The castle transferred ownership in 1295 to the Count of Oettingen and has remained in the Oettingen-Wallerstein family ever since. Harburg Castle is one of the largest, best-preserved castles in Germany. The complex includes a chapel, sentry walk, prison tower, dungeon, and various other residential buildings. The fortress was extended in the 15th century to include more residential buildings. Further additions and improvements were made from the 16th to 18th centuries, which included the ceremonial hall and the castle church. A wall with six towers surrounds the grounds, and in the center of the complex is a large courtyard with a well. The interior of the castle boasts extensive paintings done on elaborate wood ceilings. The castle once guarded a strategic roadway and is considered practically impregnable; as it never fell into enemy hands. Harburg Castle is open to the public during certain times of the year, but some of the castle is inaccessible to visitors. Interesting side note: Michael Jackson was said to love Harburg Castle and tried to purchase it numerous times without success.

18 June 1997 - first visit to Hamburg / Schleswig-Holstein, safe ride on the Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen ICE - Altona and Rathaus - London taxis in Hamburg painted beige

Friday 18 June 1997

Guten Tag!  Today 25 years ago, I visited Hamburg for the first time.  I was able to enjoy the beauty of the Alster.  I tried to visit Fredericia or Padborg in neighboring Denmark, but somehow I thought I could walk to the border, and I had limited time so I had to return from Flensburg to Hamburg in time to catch the train to Munich.  But at least the visit was interesting.  

I had to wake up very early on Friday 18th June 1997, so that I could catch the 5:55 AM train called the "Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen".  It is one of the longest ICE lines in Germany, that goes from München Hbf to Hamburg Altona, past Hamburg Hbf.  This was the exact train, that had a tragic accident in Lower Saxony in the town of Eschede, just north of Hannover, the state capital.  It used duoblock wheels to reduce interior vibration but eventually the wheels were experiencing metal fatigue over the seven years that they were in service.  It is a good thing that this did not happen on either 18th or 20th June 1997, as I also took the Röntgen from Hamburg Hbf back to München.  The bus was running early enough from St. Quirin Platz to Silberhornstraße, likewise the U2 was also running to Hbf.  I arrived at the station about 5:45 AM, and boarded the second class compartment.

I marked 18 07 in my Eurail Pass.  I was sitting in the second class compartment part of the ICE train.  I did not order any food from the dining car, as I had my usual farmer's bread sandwiches of butter and hazelnut spread, and sandwiches with Allgäuer cheese and sliced meats, to eat along the way, and my usual two bottles, one with coffee and milk, the other with a mix of cola and lemon soda.  That was the "cheap" option for those making only 1,500 D-Mark a month.  I had also a reservation for two nights at the DJH youth hostel at Landungsbrücken, as opposed to the one at Horner Rennbahn east of downtown, about five years later on my second visit to Hamburg.  The nightly rates were about 30 D-Mark, including continental breakfast, not too bad.

The train stopped in Munich's Pasing station, then Augsburg Hbf, before proceeding to Nuremberg.  After leaving Nuremberg Hbf, I noticed while along the way to Fürth, to the right, there was an U Bahn, particularly after Eberhardshof towards Stadtgrenze.  To the left side of the train, I noticed a tower, which at the time I did not know, was called "Hohe Marter".  It would not be until I returned to Germany the following year, and celebrated my 26th birthday, that I would visit Nuremberg and Fürth, and get to know the cities better, and definitely ride the U Bahn.  

The train proceeded to Würzburg Hbf, where it would branch off the line that went to Frankfurt am Main via Aschaffenburg, and go through but not stop at Hanau Hbf, Offenbach or Frankfurt am Main Südbahnhof as an ICE train.  After Würzburg, the train would really pick up speed while on the way to Fulda, Göttingen and Braunschweig.  With a conventional radio, it is difficult to receive any FM signal while in tunnel.  The ICE train had an entertainment system that would pick up some radio channels, in particular between Würzburg and Braunschweig, it was possible to receive the signal for Hessischer Rundfunk station HR3.  The quality sounded like having a 28.8 kilobyte dialup connection but at least the signal was otherwise fine.

About three hours after leaving München Hbf, the train arrived in Fulda.  This was also another place to make a transfer to ICE trains to Frankfurt am Main, and also to Berlin Zoologischer Garten.  In January 1997 I had already been to Berlin.  In July 1998, I would transfer from the ICE from Munich to Fulda, and take another ICE train to Braunschweig, and an Intercity the rest of the way to Berlin Zoo.  

Around 10 AM, the train arrived at Hannover Hbf.  This was one of the stops in Lower Saxony.  The train went through Hannover and past Eschede.  At no time was it ever suspected that at Eschede almost a year later, that a tragedy on the rails would occur.  The train did not stop until it arrived at its first of three stops in Hamburg, Harburg Rathaus.  The other stops were Hauptbahnof and Altona.    

I arrived at Hamburg Hbf about 11:30 AM.  I was on the train for five and a half hours.  I had to find the S Bahn and the youth hostel, and how to get to Landungsbrücken.  I had a prepaid two day pass for first class travel on the Hamburg system, so I just had to find the way to the S1 and S3 platforms.  The S1 and S3 would go to Landungsbrücken but the S11 and S31 would go to Dammtor just west of the Außenalster.  The westbound platform is underground but the eastbound platform is on one end of the mainline station platforms.  I took the S1 to Landungsbrücken which is underground where the U Bahn is actually elevated.  Like the S Bahn in Berlin, it also uses third rail for its power, unlike in Munich that uses the national 15 kV AC voltage with overhead catenary wire.  The S Bahn came out of tunnel just before entering the tunnel under the Binnenalster, stopping at Jungfernstieg, Stadthausbrücke and Landungsbrücken.  To get to the hostel, there is a path, away from the harbor to the Stintfang.  The Stintfang has a nice ampitheater and on the sewage drain grill, I can stand and listen to the acoustics, while saying "Test 1, Test 2, Test 3, Chuck Whitten, Chuck Whitten, Test 1!".  The hostel was open and I could deposit my luggage in the room where I had my bed reserved.  That is where I would be for Friday and Saturday night that weekend.  

I left the hostel and took the S Bahn to Jungfernstieg, and transferred to the U2 for Rathaus.  The U Bahn network of 1997 is not the same network as 2022, so I am going to use the one from 2022, the difference being the alignment of the lines being changed over the years.  This is possible because all four U Bahn lines (in 1997 only three) use the same DC third rail electification and signalling, and is thus easy to reconfigure if needed.  I was told at work, when I visit Hamburg, to see the Rathaus.  It is post-Gothic, and the influence of the Reformation is very apparent.  Also, those who are familiar with London's LTI FX4 and TX2 series taxis, there were some operating in Hamburg, but were painted beige like the usual Mercedes E-Class taxis.  

After looking at the Rathaus and Binnenalster and Kleine Alster canal, I took the U Bahn from Jungfernstieg to Schlump and I transferred to the U2 for Lutterothstraße.  Then I went back to Schlump, transferred to a U3 to Sternschanze.  A ticket inspection occurred at Sternschanze and I was glad I had my two-day ticket.  At Sternschanze, the S11 and S31 went to Hamburg Altona, so I took the train two stops.  Altona is underground, as is Königstraße, Reeperbahn and Landungsbrücken.  The long distance trains end at Altona on the surface but the S Bahn coming from the north go underground at some stage, just after Holstenstraße.  Altona station is quite different from Hbf.  It is more modernist than Hbf.  It doesn't have many tracks, maybe three or four, used for long distance rail.

I walked along the Paul Nevermann-Platz and spotted a snack place called the Haci Baba Gaziantep restaurant.  They were serving Döner Kebab and Lahmacun.  I ordered a Lahmacun from there, it was very good.  It had lettuce, tomato, onion and yogurt sauce, just like I remember from the many times that I ordered those in Summer 1993.  I took the S11 from Altona to Hbf, it was not underground between the stations, but was along the way to where I could see the Außenalster to the left after Dammtor.  Somehow I made it back to Landungsbrücken and the Stintfang.  For supper I do not know what I did.  I may have eaten at the hostel.  

I hope you will join me tomorrow, when I explore parts of Schleswig-Holstein, ride the bus from Pinneberg to Schenefeld, the district close to the Aussenalster, go shopping before 4 PM, and a ride on the diesel-powered A-Bahn from Eidelstedt to Bönningstedt.  The day will be okay with only a little hail at times.

Gute Nacht!
