"light shows" at Schloss Hohen Limburg

Illumination "1001"

For the second time this year are the "light shows" at Schloss Hohen Limburg, a hilltop castle in the Hagen district Hohenlimburg. The castle was built around 1240 by Count Dietrich of Isenberg-Limburg, the Prince of Bentheim-Tecklenburg built in the 18th Century the residential castle. Today, the Castle Museum, the history of the counts and dukes of Bentheim-Tecklenburg shown, and in the cold rolling museum can follow the development of cold rolling industry, which dates back to the masterminds in the Hohenlimburger valleys. It may also be married in Prince's Hall on Castle High Limburg, and the castle restaurant's former farm buildings German cuisine in a sophisticated ambience.

Castle Hohenlimburg

From 21 January to 6 February will be to transform the castle for 17 nights in a fairy tale world of Arabian Nights. The concept is by Wolfgang Flammersfeld (F & H Culture & Entertainment , Unna). Much of the illuminations is based on energy-saving, durable LED technology, which allows the visualization of all mixed colors and color changes. More than 9,000 visitors are to have the "light shows" visits last year. Whether this is art now, or should flush some money into the coffers of the organizer, let each decide for themselves. In any event, visitors are "dressed like moths to a flame." On the first evening there were at least 354 paying guests - or rather should we say "only" 354 paying guests, for I am sure that you hoped for more visitors had.

"Light Play"

The use of the parking lot directly on the castle during the "Light Play" on the weekends (Friday to Sunday) not allowed, but the climb to the Hagen above the district Hohenlimburg situated castle is not so burdensome that it would be forced to use the train station to the castle Hohenlimburg traffic-border bus service.

Unfortunately, we could the courtyard on the first night of the "light shows" at 17.00 clock still not enter the official start of the event was only at 18.00 clock. On 21 January, however, went - calculated - already at 17.00 clock the sun, making it at 18.00 clock had long pitch black. Why is the "light shows" for the blue hour not accessible, I will remain a mystery, however.

The weather was that night the stark contrast to the warm colors (hues from the range of red to yellow) of illumination, the temperatures were around freezing, and on top of that made the snow that linger in the open is not necessarily a pleasure. It looked more like the theme of last year's Illumination, namely, "Ice Palace". In a cellar under the Prince's Hall in the new palace was possible to have them read fairy tales from the Arabian Nights and doing a little warm up in the Baroque garden level, a tent is set up that provides for the physical comfort of the visitors.

are € 4.50 entry, the "light shows" at Schloss Hohen Limburg compared to the " Herbstleuchten " in Maximilianpark Hamm or the "winter lights " Dortmund at the Westfalen Park is relatively expensive, especially since the rooms of the castle (castle museum with the "Black Hand" and cold rolling museum) and the walkway in the evenings were not accessible. My personal impression: Lots of light in the dark season, but also shadows. To say it with a quote from the Idols of Berlichingen "by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe:" Where there is light, is strong shadows. "
