The castle of Neuscharfeneck is a ruin and a cultural monument above Ramberg and Dernbach on the territory of an exclave of Flemlingen in the district of Südliche Weinstraße in the west German state of Rhineland-Palatinate.LocationThe ruins are situated in the eastern part of the Palatine Forest. They lie at an elevation of 500m on the western foothills of the Kalkofen Berg in the middle of a forest and are only accessible over forest tracks.LayoutThe first castle, dating to the 13th century, was considerably smaller than the present ruins. Of the Hochstaufen castle only a few remnants have survived.The entire site measures about 60by. Its shield wall, built from ca. 1212 to 1232 and extended in the years 1470 and 1530, is the mightiest in the Palatinate, with a length of 58m and thickness of 12m. Within the shield wall there are relatively few usable passages, chambers and casemates. It therefore acted - apart from the hoarding (Plattform) that has not survived - primarily as passive protection for the castle behind it. The original entrance was over a drawbridge through the shield wall into the castle.In the castle gardens, rare herbs such as White Henbane, Ingräu and Abbey Hysop were planted.
