Forgotten History
Meesenburg
Lübbecke, Germany
The Meesenburg is now the remains of a hilltop castle on the 225.8 meter high Meesenkopf south of the city of Lübbecke in the Minden-Lübbecke district in North Rhine-Westphalia. The castle was probably built by Count Otto I of Tecklenburg (1209–1263). This Tecklenburg castle was then conquered and destroyed by the Minden bishop Konrad I von Rüdenberg in a joint military operation with the diocese of Osnabrück. Allegedly, the fortification on the Meesenkopf was subsequently demolished around 1216 at the instigation of Minden Bishop Konrad.
