Having had a quick look at a map of Europe, it seems that western Germany is about the right area - Lichtenstein and Heidelberg (probably what we are hearing as 'eidenberg', knowing those crazy Germans and their mad accents, or at least, Gunther's) are both in or the Baden-W�rttemburg region, which is south-west Germany, basically at the point that the German border meets both the Swiss and Austrian borders. Then there is Bentheim (north-west), and Beverungen (west. I can't find a 'luttesberg', though.

(Possible aside - Bentheim Castle is the title of a painting by Jacob van Ruisdael. Could this tie in with the art theme?)

Visiting castles was a hobby of mine during the few years I lived in Germany, so when I saw this, I decided to unlurk and contribute.

Ok, the list:
1. This is the only one I haven't a clue about. It sounds to me like "Hochsburg", but I can't find anything with that name. I guess it could be the Hofburg in Vienna, but it doesn't sound like it.
2. B�dingen http://www.buedingen.de/schloss/home.htm
3. Altenburg http://www.schloss-altenburg.de/
4. L�tisburg (I'm not 100% sure about this one.)
5. Liechtenstein (This is unrelated to the country of the same name. Instead, it's a castle located just SW of Vienna in Maria-Enzersdorf.) http://www.burgliechtenstein.at/default.shtm
6. Bentheim http://www.burg-bentheim.de/
7. Beverungen (no official URL)
8. Burg Desenberg (located near Warburg, no official URL)
9. Vischering (located near L�dinghausen) http://www.burgvischering.de/

The message recommends plotting them on a map, so I've done that. (Map taken from the very useful CIA Factbook.) I was hoping that connecting the dots would result in something recognizable, but no such luck.

Yes. That would have been very difficult. (My list was correct, nonetheless! Very Happy

)
