The Burg muck Castle (mud = mud) is one of a moat surrounded tower castle on the eastern outskirts of the central city of Salzkotten in the circle Paderborn in North Rhine-Westphalia .
history
Burg muck Berg was probably from 1347 to 1357 by the Paderborn provost built Otto von Bentheim and as after its completion to the Lords of Drewer fief awarded.
The Paderborn bishops, who were also sovereigns at the same time, built the Dreckburg on the western edge of the diocese, in addition to the Oldenburg near Marienmünster and Lichtenau Castle , to control the border with Kurköln and the Hellweg passing by to secure their territory .
The castle was first mentioned in documents in 1386 as "Drecborgh" in the fiefdom of the cathedral provost Volmar von Brenken, who presumably had the courtyard, which previously only consisted of a residential tower with a high entrance ( keep ), surrounded with a curtain wall and had a bailey built.
The Soest feud in 1444 survived the Dreckburg undamaged, went to the Lords of Oeynhausen in the same year, to the von Hörde family in 1462 , to Wilhelm von Krevet for life in 1480 and in 1516 the knight Franz Anton von Hörde left a second grief at a great distance Pull castle.
After the castle survived the Thirty Years War unscathed, it came to Johann Wilhelm von Schilder in 1676, who had the castle walls partially demolished.
In 1729, Canon Anton von der Asseburg from Osnabrück acquired the castle and had it rebuilt until 1762, which gave it its current appearance by adding two baroque wings. His nephew Friedrich Wilhelm von Westphalen inherited the Dreckburg in 1782, which later served as an estate from 1802 .
From 1896 onwards, the leased castle and estate were managed by the Counts of Westphalen, until the city of Salzkotten acquired the castle in 2000 and sold it to Erhard Christiani in 2002 , who used it privately and professionally until his death in March 2017.
