History and layout
The German castle Burg Doblin was built after 929 on an original rampart with a triangular wood-earth wall on an area of about 75 by 50 meters from the Slav period .
The castle was first mentioned in documents in 981, when Otto II gave the castle to the Memleben monastery. The inhabitants had the castrum Doblin , until then a Burgwardum was to lock expand. It was a stone castle since the 13th century.
In the 15th century, the castle lost its importance as the official seat of the city, fell into disrepair and was probably destroyed in the Saxon Civil War in 1450 . The remains of the castle were used as a quarry until the 18th century and were finally removed from 1867 to 1869 for the construction of the Schloßberg School and a gym.
