Wildenburg Castle
Highlight • Castle
The term "Wildenburger Land" has been mentioned in the homeland and history books since the beginning of the 15th century. At that time the owner of this lordship was Gerhard von Wildenburg. The property was administered from Wildenburg Castle, which is now called "Burg Wildenburg".
The Wildenburg is the ancestral seat of the Lords of Wildenburg, who, as Lords of Aremberg, were bailiffs of the Werden property in that area in the early 13th century. They built the castle after which they named themselves in 1239. The last master of the Wildenburg, Hermann von Wildenburg, died in 1418. His nephews, the sons of his sister Jutta, who had been married to Johann von Hatzfeldt since 1387, inherited the Wildenburg. Since then, the von Hatzfeldt family has owned the castle; In 1806 the Wildenburger Land fell to the Grand Duchy of Berg, in 1815 to Prussia and in 1946 to Rhineland-Palatinate. From 1808 to 1815 Wildenburg was the seat of a cantonal administration in the Sieg department before it was given up in the middle of the 19th century and fell into disrepair
