The castle Ringheim , even Castle Ringheim called, is a Wasserburg east of Euskirchen district Flamersheim (Ring Weg) in the district of Euskirchen in North Rhine-Westphalia .
history
The moated castle, surrounded by the village of Ringsheim, which was lost in the 17th century, was owned by the important Lords of Ringsheim in the 13th century as a cologne fiefdom and strategically located between the Flamersheimer Bannwald and the coronation road . - In addition to the castle with the village and the church, the Ringsheim gentlemen also owned a house monastery in Schweinheim and castles in Flamersheim and Lindweiler .
The castle was first mentioned in 1249 when it was destroyed. An Adolf von Ringsheim appears in 1278. His descendants had to sell the headquarters to Johann Hurth von Schoeneck , the Hereditary Marshal of Jülich , in 1455 due to excessive indebtedness . With the death of the last Hurth von Schöneck, the archbishop withdrew the fiefdom of Ringsheim Castle and only gave it back to Johann Freiherr von Beck in 1635, whose son sold the property to the Electorate of Cologne Chamberlain Philipp von der Vorst in 1656. After long disputes over inheritance, Philipp Wilhelm von Harff zu Dreiborn, a distant relative of Hurth von Schöneck, was awarded the estate in 1713. Under him the new building of the castle was built. From 1783 the barons of Manteuffel owned the facility, which was followed by Baron von Dalwigk zu Flamersheim in 1791 . In 1861, the widow of Elberfeld silk manufacturer Julius August Bemberg finally acquired Ringsheim Castle, together with Flamersheim Castle . Her son Julius von Bemberg followed as heir to the two estates, who left Ringsheim to his son Louis Julius and Flamersheim to his son Robert in 1903. Louis' son Hans Oskar was married to Marita von Schaaffhausen in his first marriage and to Edith von Beckerath in his second marriage. The latter adopted Wennemar von Schaaffhausen , who inherited Ringsheim Castle in 1990.
