Also known as the Winter King, because he had to abdicate as King of Bohemia in 1620 after only one year as king. He fled to the Netherlands, but he tried to become Elector Palatine again in 1632 but he died of a fever.

Built as Ordensburg Vogelsang in the 1930s to educate leaders of the Third Reich. During the war it was a refugee centre and military base. After the war the Brits took control of it until 1950 and then it became a Belgian military base until 2006. Now it is open to the public, including the surrounding terrain. Now it is called Vogelsang IP (=International Place). I learnt about Vogelsang from latium , a flickr contact of mine. He visited Vogelsang in the 1960s when he served in HM Army (16/5th Lancers), see for instance here: www.flickr.com/photos/10804277@N08/3178270072/ and here: www.flickr.com/photos/10804277@N08/2628053663/ More info on Vogelsang: www.thirdreichruins.com/vogelsang.htm
