[edit] Wrap-Up

Things Learned from the Visit of Dislberg Castle

  • Save your sourcecode. Make backups. Share your knowledge.
    • Dilsberg Castle was never destroyed in a war. It was left unattended though, and then torn down bit by bit and its pieces used elsewhere (for other buildings). One day people reconsidered (gee, we have this cool castle, what a waste, tourists would love it) and then tried to build it back up. But the original plans were lost, and there were only a few pictures from the outside. Building plans (if they ever existed) were lost in a fire in Heidelberg castle). (What can be seen today is thus a mix of original and (creatively) rebuilt walls.)
  • It's cool to think up imaginative solutions. You will live longer while getting things done.
    • The castle cistern had to be doubled in depth because there wasn't enough capacity. Unfortunately working at the bottom wasn't especially healthy (no air, no good, you die), so they dug a parallel passageway through the mountain for oxygen and created a clever setup including a lit fire and a large frame with damp cloth to make sure the fresh air came down the well, passed by the workers and then exited out the air duct.
  • Change is possible: People can change and free themselves at the same time.
    • Two villages were relocated to form what is now the Dilsberg village. To make people cooperate and move their entire village, they were relieved from serfdom when they moved to Dilsberg.
  • Sometimes changing your entire system takes a bit of getting used to and can bring on some hard times.
    • There was no fresh water for the first 500 years except for rain water (no well, oh well).
  • Debian developers are real people.
    • They can even look like tourists. ;-)
