Alexander Throm, MP and Member of the Group for Expellees, Ethnic German Repatriates and National Minorities of the CDU/CSU Parliamentary Group
„Horneck Castle bears witness to the activities of the Teutonic Order in the 14th and 15th centuries in this area. Thanks to its impressive history and to its splendid location on the river Neckar it attracts tourists from all over the world.
As a member of the Group for Expellees, Ethnic German Repatriates and German Minorities of the CDU/CSU Parliamentary Party in the Germam Federal Parliament I am particularly pleased that the castle now houses the Transylvanian Heritage and Community Centre with its museum, library and event locations.
Honeck Castle is now the seat of the central cultural institutions of the Transylvanian Saxons in Germany and I would like to thank you very much for your support of the cultural and social concerns of the Transylvanian Saxons. This centre is not only a a great gain for the Transylvanian Saxons, it also contributes to the rich diversity of thisregion".
We have chosen representative statements to highlight the significance of Horneck Castle as an historical monument and as a future heritage and community centre for the Transylvanian Saxons, for friends of their culture and for the inhabitants of Gundelsheim
