Kaiserpfalz

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kaiserpfalz refers to castles across the Holy Roman Empire which served as temporary, secondary seats of power for the Holy Roman Emperor. It is a German word that is derived from a combination of these words:

  • Kaiser, meaning "emperor", and itself derived from "caesar";
  • Pfalz, meaning "palace", and itself derived from the Latin palatium, meaning the same.

Examples of Kaiserpfalzen can be found in the cities of Goslar or Düsseldorf-Kaiserswerth.
