"KITZINGEN" Top 5 Page for this destination Kitzingen by balhannah

Kitzingen is first documented in 1300.

KITZINGEN HAS A LEGEND!

Kitzingen has a crooked Tower known as the Faulterturm.

A local legend is that the golden ball atop the crooked tower contains the heart of Vlad Dracula of Romania.
If you follow the path of the crooked tower, the golden ball leans directly toward a grave in the Kitzingen Old Cemetery located across the street from the tower that is called the Grave of Dracula.

Another local US army legend is the upside down crosses that make up the small windows on the tower, appear right side up when light casts towards the grave yard to ward off vampires.
The crosses alternate, such that every other one is upside down - pretty spooky on a dark day.

Some, however, believe that the grave that is called "Dracula's Grave" is not actually where Vlad Dracula is buried, but rather a heavily-decorated grave of a very rich family that resided in Kitzingen
