Over the weekend, we went down to Heidelberg to see the "Schlossbeleuchtung", the lighting of the castle. There are three times every summer when the well-known Schlossbeleuchtung and fireworks display takes place – the first Saturday’s in June and September, and the second Saturday in July.The castle lighting is done in memory of the three times when the castle went up in flames (1689, 1693 and 1764). The first two times were due to wars with the French, and the last time by lighting.After the castle “burning” begins, a 15 minute fireworks display is launched from the Old Bridge.
