The Burgstall Blumenrod is an abandoned castle south of the Blumenrod residential area in the south of the city of Limburg an der Lahn in the Limburg-Weilburg district in Hesse .
Nothing is known about the time when the castle was founded or who built it. A feudal letter from 1373 from the Archbishop of Trier to von Bubenheim , in which "House and farm of Blumenrod" are mentioned, indicates a "solid stone house". In the 15th century the castle was mentioned again in a chronicle.
In his description of the Duchy of Nassau in 1843, Christian Daniel Vogel describes the remains as: “Two nobles had a castle here, which is said to have been destroyed in a popular uprising in 1242. You can still see its castle shell, with sunken ramparts and ditches very close to the Blumenrod court. ” If this information is correct, then the castle was a Ganerbeburg .
In the history of the Blumenrod domain , reference is also made to the fact that the farm was located 300 m further south in the Linter district until 1720 , which supports Vogel's reference under the heading Linter .
The remains of the castle are said to have been used either in the 1930s to build a military airfield or only in 1973 to build a water tank.
