This needs a lot of work. The German Wikipedia article is quite detailed, but I don't speak German. Anyone who does could add a lot of information to this article. Akubra 12:15, 8 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Here are a couple of pictures which might be of use in the article. John Dalton 23:11, 22 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Festung Hohensalzburg with Salzburg in the foreground

Move[edit]

I've moved this from "Festung Hohensalzburg" to "Hohensalzburg Castle" as per Wikipedia:Naming conventions (use English) and MOS section/Foreign terms. It's also the title used by the Castle's website in the External Links. Moonraker12 (talk) 16:01, 27 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Roman beginnings[edit]

Touring the festung, there were displays of Roman artefacts dug from an excavation inside the fortress (near the gift shop) with information cards about how the Roman Empire kept a garrison up on the hill. Sadly, I find no published source that talks about this that I can use as a citation. Any help? LTC (Ret.) David J. Cormier (talk) 16:36, 19 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Fortress Hohensalzburg → Hohensalzburg Fortress – This is by far the more common English name occurring twice as often both in Google Books and Google. Moreover The Salzburg Burgen & Schlösser Betriebsführung and others have made the schoolboy mistake on their website of using German word order (Fortress Hohensalzburg) instead of English word order (Hohensalzburg Fortress) when translating the name. Incidentally the second most common English name is Hohensalzburg Castle, not the current title, but it's not quite as common as Hohensalzburg Fortress.

Comment: In German, the structure is called "Festung Hohensalzburg". The German word "Festung" translates to English "fortress". The article's original name was "Hohensalzburg Castle". I tried to improve the article by moving it to a name that contains the word "fortress" rather than the word "castle" on June 24, 2018. The reason i chose "Fortress Hohensalzburg" over "Hohensalzburg Fortress" is, that the fortress's operator, Salzburg Burgen & Schlösser Betriebsführung, calls it "Fortress Hohensalzburg" on their web site. --K1812 (talk) 01:41, 3 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nom. Whatever it's called in the operator's translation, normal English is to call it Hohensalzburg Fortress. "Fortress Hohensalzburg" looks weird and counterintuitive in English. Moving it from Hohensalzburg Castle was correct, though. It's a festung, not a burg. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:49, 4 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Support per above. Seraphim System ^(talk) 15:14, 8 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
