Order castle Falkenburg

Ordernsburgen: In 1933, the first "special" three-year political education school was created - the "Ordensburgen" (Order Castles). Ordensburg students were hand-selected students from the Adolf Hitler Schools (after 1937) and the Napola schools. The graduating students were to be the new ruling "blue-bloods" of the Third Reich. In addition to learning political materials, these students also were exposed to many military and military-like training efforts. From an architectural design perspective, most of the "Ordensburg" schools were supposed to resemble medieval castles - but this plan in fact never materialized
