Alttrauchburg Ruin / Ruine Alttrauchburg
Looking at the leftovers of the residence. It is a lot as the lower floors had been very old, made with rounded huge stones, nothing you can use when building a chic late baroque castle in the valley. / Blick auf was fom Pallas uebrig ist. Es ist garmicht so wenig, vermutlich weil die Burg teilweise sehr alt ist und die unteren Stockwerke vorallem aus runden Feldsteinen und riesigen zugehauenen Steinbrocken bestehen, kein Baumaterial fuer ein nettes Spaetbarockschloesschen im Tal. |

Our high nobility -- in therory the got no extra previlegues any longer but they amassed so much money in generations, that if they send their kids to modern bussiness schools they grow richer and richer still. The current head of the house Waldburg-Zeil and Trauchburg's private means are estimated about 650 millions (euro), so he is still well amongst those ruling others with their wallet.
