The small church on the left side, a chapel actually, was built on the initiative of its donor, Hildegund von Weinheim in the 14th century. It has quite a colourful history and was maintained by various donors and charity trusts.

The police has to work overtime every time the two clubs play against each other to keep the “fans” (fanatics!) apart and the destruction in the vicinity of the stadions to a minimum.

This is not the only castle or castle ruin that is called “Windeck” (windy corner). Personally, I’ve never found it windy up there but maybe it was different 1000 years ago when it was built.
