Forgotten History
Herrenburg
Essen, Germany
The Herrenburg is an abandoned Carolingian ring wall complex south of Essen-Werden on the left bank of the Ruhr on the Pastoratsberg. It is an oval complex, 150 m by 100 m in diameter, with remains of rubble stone masonry and a series of ramparts. Finds from the 9th to 11th centuries indicate that the castle complex was built in the early Middle Ages. The mountain is named after the medieval rectory of St. Clemens, which later stood in the middle of the ramparts.
