Let's avoid an edit war, shall we? It's primarily a references to Castle Wolfenstein through a rather convoluted path that incorporates a bit of linguistics and a bit of sound-matching. Specifically, "wein" meaning "wine", which could be served in a "stein" (if you were gauche), and which also sounds like "stein"; and "hunden" meaning hound, which is similar to a wolf.

There's a level requirement to get in. Don't know what it is, but if you're too low:
Other than rocks, dirt, and more rocks, there doesn't appear to be anything out here. Cristiona
Are there two existing helms in this area, I've received the irrhodium helm 3 times now but I see an article for an irrodhium helm. Which I haven't received. I was thinking of moving the article but I wanted to check just in case it wasn't a misspelling. Doctor Mania 14:29, 25 November 2008 (MST)
"Castle Hundenswein is considered by most players to be the best farming location in the game. For more on farming, see General Farming." What's with this? Firstly, is it actually useful here? If somebody cared what the best chip farming place, they would go to the chip farming guide. You don't go look up a zone, and then find out it's a good place to farm. Secondly, where's your evidence that 'most players' consider it the best farming location? Thirdly, it looks like an ad for your guide (which I have different problems with, itself). Prove me wrong.--Olaf 11:46, 26 November 2008 (MST)
Screw that olaf:
"Castle Hundenswein is considered by most players to be the best farming location in the game. For more on farming, see General Farming."
I nuked the line completely.... there is no consensus on a zone that is less than 2 days old. -- cranky old Malk
Can anyone confirm that the Crystal Skulls adventure affects reputation?--Seventhcross 17:04, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
I'm from Germany, and over here "Schweinehund" (literally piggy-dog) is a somewhat old fashioned insult, that often gets parodied (nazis are particularly prone to use that insult in popular culture).
Maybe add a note about that? The whole are seems to be in the image of medieval germany and europe. --Alarion 16:00, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

- Well, just my cup of German tea: It could be "Hundens Wein", which would be "wine of a dog" (rather gramatically incorrect). That doesn't make a lot of sense, but oh well.
- You cannot serve "Wein" in a "stein", however - that would be serving wine in a rock or stone, which I simply have never heard of. There is "weinstein" - little rock like stuff that can be found at the bottom of a glass or bottle of wine (called Potassium bitartrate in English).

Chip drops
Just want to add a note... All the values here fit in with the ± 25% of XP pattern that the Docks show. I have confirmed all of these except for the Castle Guard's upper limit of 269; the highest I've actually seen is 267. Given that everything else fits... and that it took me about 200 encounters to confirm the Chemist's lowest value... I'm going to call it good enough. I've still got ~1300 turns left at the Castle, but figured I'd get that out there. --Jesus 04:11, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
