Wildenberg Castle is possibly the castle that is called Montsalvaesch in Wolfram von Eschenbach's Parzival, and depending on its linguistic origin is interpreted as Heilsberg ("Salvation Hill" or "Holy Hill") or wilder Berg ("Wild Hill") (c.f.
section 230, verse 13).
In the fifth book (Die Gralsburg) the Wildenberg is specifically mentioned: "Who saw such a great fire/Here by us in Wildenberg?"
It is possible therefore that Wolfram von Eschenbach wrote part of the novel here.
However, other castles may also have been suggested as the subject.
Wolfram von Eschenbach may have written his description of the holy hill just based on contemporary paradise literature.
