The ruins of Zähringen castle is what remains of the ancestral seat of the Zähringer.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.noffsinger.org/nafzger/zahringer.php )〕 It is one of several castles and towns that the Zähringens built in South Germany and Switzerland (including: Freiburg i. Breisgau, Villingen, Neuenburg, Fribourg-Freiburg i. Üechtland, Bern, Thun, Rheinfelden, Murten) == History == In the fourth century, during the migration period, the upper part of the northwestern spur of the Roßkopf was flattened so that it was suited for a settlement. Alemannic chiefs dwelt there with their folk until it was abandoned at the end of the fifth century. The name Zähringen was actually mentioned for the first time in records dating back to the time shortly after the turn of the first millennium. However, it is not clear without ambiguity whether they refer already to a fortification on the hilltop or to the village, the present day suburb of Freiburg.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.freiburg-madison.de/freiburg_history/1000-1368_Dukes_%20and_Counts.htm )〕 The first definite mention of the castle was in 1128 in the "''Rotulus Sanpetrinus''", a parchment roll issued in the nearby abbey of St, Peter. That document was written in Latin and contains the passage "''apud castrum Zaringen''" (''castrum'' is the Latin word for castle). Berthold II moved out of this castle to Freiburg Castle on the Schlossberg of Freiburg. He had ordered the construction of that new castle, because he considered that location to be more advantageous both from commercial and strategical perspectives. When the Zähringer had died out, Emperor Frederick II confiscated Zähringen castle as a fief in 1218. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Zähringen castle」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
