history
A noble family of Immenhausen was mentioned as early as 1123 with Burgrave Dudo de Emmenhusen at the Mainz castle Rusteberg in Eichsfeld . The family died out as early as 1189. It is still unclear whether she could be the builder of the castle.
The castle must have existed before 1282, because it was named in a dispute with Kurmainz that year . 15 years later, the Hessian acquired Landgraf Henry I of Count Otto of Everstein the Office Grebenstein , gave the place Emmenhusin 1298 city rights as in a document dated November 2, 1298 can be seen, leaving in 1303 to build the site as a city, secure and renew the castle . Hans von Stockhausen or Heinrich von Uffeln are documented Hessian castle men.
As early as 1385, on July 19, Mainz troops conquered the place and destroyed the castle. The place and the city wall were rebuilt, but the castle itself remained in ruins and was later completely demolished.
In the meantime the foundations of the castle have been uncovered on the castle stables .
