Kaibitz Castle and Inn at the Mill
Highlight • Restaurant
It got exciting when Erich Ebermayer bought the castle in 1939, shortly before the outbreak of World War II. He was a Berlin writer, screenwriter and lawyer who counted Gerhart Hauptmann, Thomas and son Klaus Mann, and Stefan Zweig among his friends. When Ebermayer first visited the castle on May 4, 1939, he wrote in his diary: "It only takes seconds. I know before I have seen anything that this house is my fate. That I will be and stay here. " The ailing castle was feverishly renovated in the following weeks. Ebermayer explored the area during this time. Swam daily in a neighboring pond, cycled to the nearby monastery village of Speinshart or went to collect mushrooms, which, as he wrote, are called "mushrooms" here. Already at the end of June it was read: "How far is the world! How far is Berlin! ... Here we are really behind the mountains with the seven dwarfs." Ebermayer lived at Kaibitz Castle until his death in 1970. In 1955 he wrote the screenplay for the box office hit "The Girls from the Inner Courtyard" - the story of three girls on a pony yard.
It is easy to imagine that Kaibitz Castle served as an idyllic template. The way he describes the Upper Palatinate landscape, he could also have written "Alice in Wonderland". With the current state of the castle, would it still be enough for a "haunted castle near Kemnath"?
