French and English troops once made it their barracks, as did GIs during World War II. Martin Luther, whose family was related to the Stockhausens, once stayed here. Throughout much of Trendelburg Castle's history it has been connected with the Stockhausen family, which today runs the castle as a hotel and restaurant. Romans probably camped here the region paid homage to Charlemagne and fell under the influence of the Carolingians. Through the years it was called Trindirberg, Drendenburg, Dreyndeneberch, Drenderburg, Drendelburg and Trendelburgk. The original castle was built just before its chartering in 1301, by Konrad III of Schoeneberg. It has been pillaged, pawned and pulverized in various eras. The Trendelburg fortress, separated from the town by a deep ditch cut into the rocks, has weathered fires, reconstructions, reinforcements, plagues, the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648) and the Seven Years' War (1756 to 1763). The town grew up roughly within the same area covered by its ancient walls today. This picturesque 14th-century knight's castle perches on a hilltop in the Rheinhardswald forest. Chartered in 1301, the same year as the town that surrounds it, Trendelburg historically has held a strategic position, dominating important trade roads from Frankfurt to Kassel and Hamburg. One of Germany's best-preserved castles is Trendelburg Castle in the Wester Mountains near Kassel. It wasn’t until 1996 that it was finally purchased by an investment company and finally restored, making it one of the most romantic castle hotels in Europe.

The forest surrounding (Reinhardswald) is full of so many old trees, you will believe it’s haunted. Unlike in the fairy tale, the castle played a strategic role in the Thirty Years’ War, and was destroyed by General Tilly’s Croatian soldiers. The Grimm Brothers added Rapunzel (the German word for lamb’s lettuce) to their collection of fairy tales, after a woman from this area told them the handed-down medieval tale of Sleeping Beauty in 1810. The impressive 125 foot high “Rapunzel” tower was added after the castle burned down in 1456. Like Sababurg, it’s located on the Fairy Tale Road, on the other side of Reinhard’s Forest. Purportedly this is the real McCoy – the original true Rapunzel Castle right out of Grimm’s Fairy Tales. In reality, it was built by Conrad III von Schöneberg, to secure the road between Kassel and Bremen. The Trendelburg Castle was built in 1300, near the city of Kassel.
