The castle on the Süllberg is an Outbound hilltop castle on the 74.4 meter high Süllberg in Hamburg-Blankenese .
Since the dense forest on the Süllberg ("Sollenberge") was home to pagan robberies who oppressed the Christian citizens of Hamburg and Holstein , the Archbishop of Hamburg and Bremen Adalbert I had the forest cleared from 1060 to 1063 and a castle built from the wood mainly served to secure the ferry connection across the Elbe . Later a provost followed . After the castle was destroyed by the northern Albians after a short time , the archbishop excommunicated it in 1070 . This period of the 11th century, especially the fall of the castle and provost on the Süllberg, is presented in detail in the historically fantastic novel The Gold Treasure of the Elbe Mountains by the Hamburg historian Martin Schemm .
In 1258 the Counts of Schauenburg and Holstein , the brothers Johann I and Gerhard I , had a new castle built on the Süllberg, also to secure the ferry connection. Since the lordship of the castle, in whose service Otto von Barmstede was also, who robbed Hamburg ships on the Stör , a tributary of the Elbe, disturbed Hamburg interests, the castle was demolished again after their protest in 1262. Today there are catering establishments on the former castle grounds.
