Summary from English Wikipedia (enwiki)

Genovevaburg is a castle standing on the southwestern side of Mayen in the German state of Rhineland-Palatinate. The castle is the symbol of Mayen and has been rebuilt several times since first being destroyed in 1689. Its name comes from a legend, according to which the seats of counts palatine, Siegfried and his wife, Genevieve of Brabant (German: Genoveva), were supposed to be on the same hill in (or above) Mayen. The earliest references linking the legend to this region date to the 17th century. Since when the castle and its bergfried, the so-called Golo Tower (Goloturm), have been linked to the legend is unknown.

Summary from Deutsch / German Wikipedia (dewiki)

Eingebunden in die mittelalterliche Stadtbefestigung erhebt sich die Genovevaburg an der Südwestseite der Stadt Mayen in Rheinland-Pfalz. Die Burg ist das Wahrzeichen Mayens und wurde seit ihrer ersten Zerstörung im Jahr 1689 mehrfach rekonstruierend wiederaufgebaut. Ihr Name basiert auf einer Sage, nach der auf der gleichen Anhöhe in (bzw. damals über) Mayen der Sitz des Pfalzgrafen Siegfried und seiner Frau Genoveva von Brabant gewesen sein soll. Früheste Hinweise zum regionalen Bezug der Sage datieren auf das 17. Jahrhundert. Seit wann die Burg bzw. ihr Bergfried, der sogenannte Goloturm, namentlich mit der Sage verknüpft werden, ist unbekannt.

Summary from Italiano / Italian Wikipedia (itwiki)

Genovevaburg è un castello sito sul lato sud-occidentale di Mayen, nello stato tedesco della Renania-Palatinato. Il castello è il simbolo di Mayen ed è stato ricostruito più volte da quando fu distrutto per la prima volta nel 1689. Il suo nome deriva da una leggenda, secondo la quale le sedi dei conti palatini, Sigfrido e sua moglie, Geneviève di Brabante (tedesco: Genoveva), avrebbero dovuto trovarsi sulla stessa collina a (o sopra) Mayen. I primi riferimenti che collegano la leggenda a questa regione risalgono al XVII secolo. Da quando il castello e il suo bergfried, la cosiddetta torre Golo (Goloturm), sono stati legati alla leggenda non è noto.
