Hohenzollern Castle
With over 350,000 visitors per year Hohenzollern castle is one of the most visited castles in Germany. The castle is privately owned by the House of Hohenzollern, with two-thirds belonging to the Brandenburg-Prussian branch, and the balance to the Swabian branch. Since 1952, the Princess Kira of Prussia Foundation has used the castle for an annual summer camp for children. Whenever Prince George and his family are staying at the castle, the Prussian flag flies over the castle.
Hohenheim
Hohenheim's main attractions are Schloss Hohenheim, Hohenheim Gardens, and the Lanesarboretum. The University of Hohenheim maintains and uses these attractions for its campus. The German Agricultural Museum has a branch in Hohenheim thanks to the University, and there are zoological and veterinary museums in the castle and a museum dedicated to the history of Hohenheim.
From 1888 to 1967, Hohenheim was tethered to the Möhringen-Hohenheim tracks by local railroads. Today, Hohenheim serves as the final stop of the U3 line of the Stuttgart Stadtbahn (Plieningen – Möhringen – Vaihingen). The track of rail that did connect Schloss Hohenheim is decommissioned. The town (and university) is equipped with buses and streetcars that can take one to the Schloss or Degerloch.
