Burg Nanstein Burg Nanstein is a castle in Landstuhl , Rhineland - Palatinate , Germany . It was built around the year 1162 after Holy Roman Emperor Frederick I demanded its construction as additional defense for the Palatinate . In 1504 , German knight Franz von Sickingen , inherited part of the castle after his father ' s death in the War of the Bavarian Succession , finally acquiring the entire castle in 1518 . He immediately began extensive refortification to make the castle suitable for firearms . Nanstein is well known for an elaborate siege during the Knights ' Revolt in 1523 which claimed the life of von Sickingen . The fall of Nanstein was a symbol for the decline of castles in the Palatinate . In 1542 , von Sickingen ' s sons recovered Nanstein as a fief and started reconstruction of the castle . Reinhard von Sickingen completed the reconstruction in 1595 . In 1668 , Elector Charles I Louis forced Lotharingia n troops from the castle and razed the fortifications . In the 19th century the first conservation work was done on Nanstein , and this has continued to the present day .

Naczelnik Naczelnik ( ) is the Polish word for Leader . It was first used as an official title by Tadeusz Kościuszko during the Polish revolutions of the 18th Century . In its Kościuszko form the title was used to signify commander of the uprising , or the modern day equivalent of head of state . The term later came into use by commanders of the Polish Army in Galicia , as part of the Army of Austria - Hungary , during the First World War . Most notably it was used by Field Marshal Józef Piłsudski , known as Naczelnik Pilsudski , as a title that helped identify him as the leader to his conscript troops . The title of Naczelnik in this form had the meaning of the modern day equivalent rank of Field Marshal ( or the American equivalent of General of the Army ) , however it was not an official title recognized by the General Staff in Vienna . Following World War I , changes in the Polish Military force structure eliminated the rank of Naczelnik and replaced it with the more modern and Western sounding rank of Field Marshal ( Marszałek ) . The title become a part of the Polish Chief of state position , held from 1918 - 1922 by Piłsudski , as Naczelnik państwa . In 1922 it was replaced by the office of president of Poland . The term was again picked up in 1925 by Sanacja , Piłsudski ' s political party in Poland , and was used by leader Józef Piłsudski as the official title for the leader of the party . In modern - day Poland , the term Naczelnik is commonly used in various forms of Polish life , and has nothing to do with politics or military . It is for example used as the official title for mail chiefs ( Naczelnik Poczty ) at local post offices . It has also been used by some rural police stations to replace the communist sounding title of police commandant ( Komendant Policji ) with Police Leader ( Naczelnik Policji ) . Likewise , some fire stations and emergency personnel use the term to identify the leader of a particular accident scene , or the leader of a hospital ward .
