Castles along the Rhine, the upper middle Rhine valley. 00:00:00
The Rhine flows south to north through the middle of Germany. 00:00:07
It's over 1300 kilometers long, 65 kilometers of the upper middle portion is inscribed on 00:00:11
the World Heritage List. 00:00:18
The town of Rüdesheim is the starting point for downstream cruises. 00:00:21
Just a single bridge connects both banks of the river along the World Heritage-designated 00:00:29
part of the river. 00:00:33
The Rhine has served as a major transportation route for ferrying people, culture and goods 00:00:38
for centuries. 00:00:43
This is the so-called Maus Tower, built in the 13th century for collecting taxis from 00:00:48
passing ships. 00:00:54
The advantage of being able to levy tolls and regulate the river traffic led feudal 00:01:00
overlords to fight between themselves for influence in the region. 00:01:04
By the 14th century, the number of toll gates in the area had reached 60. 00:01:10
Falzgrafenstein Castle is built on a sandbar. 00:01:15
Twenty customs officers once lived within its walls. 00:01:18
The medieval castles conjure romantic notions but were in fact built with practical purposes 00:01:25
in mind, one of which was to levy taxes. 00:01:30
Marksburg Castle was built in the 13th century and retains much of its medieval character. 00:01:37
It has never been destroyed. 00:01:42
The castle's cannons fired on vessels that did not have permission to go by. 00:01:45
Knights who pledged their services to the master of the castle made it their home. 00:01:51
The dining room windows were small and the thick walls broadened out into the room in 00:01:55
a triangular shape to ensure maximum protection. 00:02:00
This is Reichenstein Castle, once the den for a band of knight thieves who preyed on 00:02:07
passing ships. 00:02:11
Not all knights were chivalrous and some took advantage of their position. 00:02:15
The castle was attacked in the 13th century to expel corrupt knights. 00:02:22
World Heritage status has ushered in a new phase for the upper middle Rhine. 00:02:30
This landscape today fuels the imagination. 00:02:37
It is a source of historical fascination. 00:02:40
