Just How Big

You be the judge!

The scale of this larger model is 65 to 1, a 50% increase in the linear measurement over the smaller version.  Of course, from a volume point of view, this model is more than 3 times as large.  The pictures below shows the size and scope of Hans Ludwig's Wartburg.   I leave it to you to count the stone "units" to obtain an understanding of the size of this castle.

The "palace" is the largest building in the Wartburg. A hint, it may be easier to count the arches at the eves than the irregular stones of the walls, though the arches rows are the ones to use.

The end of the palace.  Overall, the palace is a large Anchor building on its own, but it is just a small portion of this Wartburg model.

Again a suggestion -- count the triangular pieces where the wall meets the roof.  17(?), counting the top stone, adjusted to 16½, due to the overhang?  Or do you come up with a different answer?  And did you note that the layers are not uniform and that the typical thickness is not one "Anchor unit"?  (The large arch is 1.5 × 2.5 Anchor units, or 37.5 × 62.5 mm.  It is a # 107G.)

Note:  These pictures were taken by me in Berlin, at the Deutschlandhaus Museum.  There are a few more pictures of the model from that visit.
