Heidenheim Open-Air Theatre

Highlight • Structure

The natural theater in Heidenheim is the second largest natural theater in Baden Württemberg. The founding of the theater association came into the head of Gustav Müller in the trenches of the First World War, if he would get out of this war unharmed ... and thus in 1919 the association was founded as the "Folk Art Association Heidenheim". In 1924 a seat was allocated behind the castle and the nature theater with 1960 seats and 5 entrances was built there. Today there are performances in the program throughout the summer, always one adult and one children's play.

Hermannsfelsen

Highlight • Natural Monument

The legendary Hermann Rock towers up along the way. And this is where the special story comes into play. Knight Kuno once lived at Hellenstein Castle with his graceful daughter Berta. Berta von Hellenstein was courted for a long time by the noble knight Georg von Güssenburg. But all his attempts were in vain, because Berta loved Knight Hermann von Herwartstein... On a walk through the spring forest, the two finally came to a rock. From there, the two of them threw themselves into the depths, tightly embraced.

Hellenstein Castle

Highlight • Castle

Great the castle, the fortress is enthroned in the city of Heidenheim an der Brenz. It was once the headquarters of the Lords of Hellenstein. The ownership changed later: in the late Middle Ages the complex was in Bavarian hands, at the beginning of modern times it was Württemberg
