history

  • The place was first mentioned in documents in 1342, namely in the "marriage contract of Lodevige von Bevirstein, Olfiz son of Sottinberch, with Agnes, daughter of Heinrich, Herr zu Lewenberg". Castle and court were given to him as a fief by Gotthart von Sayn, Lord of Homburg. The spelling of the first mention was Bevirstein , later Biberstein.
  • From 1490 the knights of Karthausen were feudal bearers, Gerlach von Karthausen acted as Wittgenstein bailiff. In 1576, the Duke of Berg gave a son-in-law of this clan, Jost Lixfeld, permission to use the "Bergisch" water of the Wiehl for the Biberstein mill.
  • In 1743, Count Ludwig Ferdinand zu Berleburg, the new master of Homburg, came to Biberstein on his inaugural and inspection trip and was shown the manorial court with its oil and flour mill. The lease was ceremonially confirmed with his subject Peter Jung.

The ruins of Burg Bieberstein were built in the 14th century (mentioned in 1342). The castle house was inhabited until the middle of the 19th century. Some remains of the wall have been preserved to this day.
