Documentation: Regenstein Castle in the northern Harz foreland is the ruin of a medieval rock castle near Blankenburg in the Harz district of Saxony-Anhalt. Only ruins remain of the difficult to conquer castle complex from the High Middle Ages. Some rooms carved into the rock and remains of the keep have been preserved. The ruins are surrounded by the remains of the modern fortress. In 1162, Konrad, the son of Count Poppo I of Blankenburg, was first mentioned by name as Comes de Regenstein (Count of Regenstein). The castle was made famous above all by Count Albrecht II. von Regenstein (1310-1349), who in the 1330s often had disputes with the rulers of the surrounding towns, the bishop of Halberstadt and the abbess of Quedlinburg. These stories were romanticized in the ballad Der Raubgraf by Gottfried August Bürger (set to music by Johann Philipp Kirnberger) and in the novel Der Raubgraf by Julius Wolff. In the 15. In the 19th century, the Regenstein count family moved to Blankenburg Castle. The castle fell into disrepair and became a ruin. The last male descendant of the noble family, Count Johann Ernst von Regenstein, died in 1599. After several changes of ownership, in 1643 Regenstein, sometimes spelled Rheinstein or Reinstein, was given as a fief by Archduke Leopold Wilhelm of Austria in his capacity as Bishop of Halberstadt to the Lower Bavarian Count Wilhelm von Tattenbach. From then on, this noble family called itself “Count von Reinstein-Tattenbach”. In 1671 Johann Erasmus Graf von Reinstein-Tattenbach in Austria was beheaded as a participant in the magnates' conspiracy, in the course of which Elector Friedrich Wilhelm von Brandenburg confiscated the county. From 1671, the castle complex was expanded into a fortress by the Prussians, who were also the last users of their military function. The original castle complex only occupies a small part of the area that was converted. In 1677 the fortress became a garrison. In 1736, lightning struck the Powder Tower and severely damaged the fortress. The outer length of its enclosing wall was extended to 1,200 m by 1742. Even among the French, to whom the fortress was conquered on 12 September 1757 had to be handed over, this was structurally expanded. The Prussians conquered it five months later, on 12. February 1758, and rendered the facility unusable. The powder store, which was relatively high up, was blown up. Only the casemates, the built-in structures in the rock and the restored entrance gate remained of this fortress. Characteristic are the many cave-like rooms driven into the rock, which today house an exhibition of archaeological finds from the castle area. Even the horse stables were carved into the rock. After 1758 the pastures and forests around the Regenstein came to the Prussian office of Westerhausen. After the Westphalian rule (1807-1813, Canton Halberstadt-Land), Regenstein belonged to the district of Halberstadt from 1815-1945 as the smallest Prussian exclave. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe visited the Regenstein together with the painter Georg Melchior Kraus on 11. September 1784 on his third trip to the Harz Mountains to conduct geological studies. Two drawings and a rock sample in Goethe's rock collection are reminiscent of this visit. Once upon a time, one of the most beautiful maidens in the country was imprisoned in the dungeon of Regenstein Castle because she despised the love of Count von Regenstein. With a diamond ring, she scratched a chink in the rock, which after a year was big enough for her to crawl through and escape. After escaping, she returned to the castle with her family, but the count had disappeared. A little later she noticed that thick smoke was pouring out of a gap in a rock face. Looking through it, she saw the count in purgatory. So she threw him her ring out of pity, to let the count's spirit come to rest.
