I was often asked by guests from America about the difference between a Burg and a Schloss. You can see both types of castle in this photo. The left building complex in the distance is a Burg, the right one in the foreground is a Schloss. Usually, I explain it this way: A Burg is a defensive castle, a Schloss is a bragging castle.
The photo shows Schloss Arnstein in Neu-Eichenberg (Hesse) and Burg Hanstein (Thuringia). Between both sites ran the border between West and East Germany, and Burg Hanstein was used as a watchtower by the East German border guards. This view has become a symbol of the German reunification.
