mazambane does anyone have some information on castle von waltsleben in germany?
Marko I could not find anything about a Von Waltsleben castle in Germany. Are you sure about the spelling? I did find some mention of a Burg Walsleben. This castle lay east of the town of Osterburg in the Landkreis Stendal in the Sachsen-Anhalt province.
It seems it was destroyed in 929 by a Slavonean army of "Redarier" (don't know what that means). All its inhabitants were slaughtered. This was a Slavonean reaction to some other military action by the Saxons. One source says it was rebuilt shortly after but it seems that nothing remains today.
