Wallerstein

Wallerstein is a market town in the Donau-Ries district of Bavaria, built around a rock outcrop in the Ries basin. It became the residence of the Catholic Oettingen-Wallerstein line after the family's division in the 16th century, and in the late 18th century their court kept a celebrated orchestra. The princes of Oettingen-Wallerstein still own the palace there.
