The Neuburg is an Outbound Höhenburg the municipality Neuburg in nordwestmecklenburg . The castle is located in the town of the same name near the Baltic Sea on the road between Wismar and Neubukow .
construction
The castle complex consisted of three ramparts, a fourth (no longer visible) was in front of the castle to the north, and a castle plateau 30 m higher, which are still there. At the southern end of the plateau there were once remains of the stone fortifications, which have now disappeared. The location of the castle was chosen so that you could originally see as far as the Wismar Bay . Today the plateau is also used as a fairground.
history
The Neuburg was built, probably as a replacement, after 1171 near the Ilenburg . The confirmed construction date is the year 1219. In the years 1230/31, Johann I von Mecklenburg had the castle built as a protective castle and, according to Ernst von Kirchberg's description, built it for his wife Luitgard von Henneberg in 1264 in order to make it part of the low mountain range of their home recall. After that, Anastasia von Pomerania, wife of Heinrich the Pilgrim , is said to have lived in the castle here. When it was abandoned is unknown, but no later than 1331 the castle grounds were sold by Duke Albrecht II to the Lübeck merchant and councilor Volmar von Attendorn with extensive further agricultural property of 12 Hufen and ten Katen and used as arable land. The purchase contract is a thorough description of Neuburg at that time.
