Castles

[Woogey]

There are probably some already, but please include some more in the south like Neuschwanstein and Hohenzollern Castle.

Neuschwanstein won't be on the map scope.

Hohenzollern should be in Phase 3.

Generally, there should be more prominent sights (e.g. Wartburg at Eisenach, Sanssouci at Potsdam), to navigate by.

[Ian Boys UK]

Ehrenbreitstein would be good ... It's massive and conspicuous by its absence.

[Thamiel]

The whole Middle Rhine Valley suffers by this neglect.

[Tengah]

Hear, hear for the Schloss's, also, will the Ruhr Dams be modelled?  Specifically, the Mohne, Eder, and Sorpe?

[Thadeyus]

Sadly one of the most iconic Castles is missing, Burg Elz, the Castel which was Engraved on the 500 Deutsche Mark note. Located about 30k. south East of Koblenz (N50°12‘18“E7°2ß‘12“) it just has to be on the Map.

The two major problems with castles (and with almost all german monumental landmarks for that matter) are: they are all unique and there are so many of them. Its kind of an uncanny valley to see a known landscape representing itself just nearly like the real deal.

There are some schloss and burg that really should be included, even though I do know it would be rather intensive work - some examples are the Burg Friedberg.  While Friedberg itself is just a generic town, it really needs the Burg in the north part of town - it is a landmark that is used for navigation.  (On a personal note, not having Ray Barracks was a let down, but I get it, there are SO MANY kasernes in Germany, hard to make them all).

AND, to this end, the castles often served as a backdrop for many military posters for the nearby flying units, who often sold these prints to support their squadron funds.  Cochem Castle is another, on the Mosel River.  They are all part of THE ambience of the Cold War for many military members.
