English summary: For a long time, the main focus of interest in Ludwigstein Castle was historical research into the role of the castle in the history of the German youth movement, the history of its ideas and organisation and the history of reform movements and progressive education. This was fostered by the Archive of the German Youth Movement, which was founded in 1922. By contrast, no attempt has been made to integrate the specific history of the castle into the more general history of the youth movement otherwise be of benefit to the movement; there is also a lack of fundamental discussion about the development and utilization of the castle from the 15th to the early 20th century in its regional and territorial context. To encourage future studies, this volume presents some preliminary research results. German description: Uber lange Zeit galt in Bezug auf den Ludwigstein das Hauptinteresse der historischen Forschung der Rolle der Burg in der Geschichte der deutschen Jugendbewegung, ihrer Ideen- und Organisationsgeschichte sowie der Geschichte von Reformbewegungen und Reformpadagogik. Dies wurde durch das 1922 gegrundete Archiv der deutschen Jugendbewegung gefordert. Dagegen mangelt es bislang an einem Ansatz, um die spezielle Burggeschichte in die allgemeinere Geschichte der Jugendbewegung zu integrieren bzw. fur diese fruchtbar zu machen sowie an einer grundlichen Auseinandersetzung mit der Entwicklung und Nutzung der Burg vom 15. bis zum fruhen 20. Jahrhundert in ihrem regionalen und territorialen Umfeld. Um kunftige Untersuchungen anzuregen, werden in diesem Band erste Forschungsergebnisse vorgelegt.
