Hinderking

The Hinderking is an abandoned tower hill castle (Motte) in the northern foreland of the city of Soest in North Rhine-Westphalia, which has been dated to the eleventh century through archaeological excavations . She was also the center of the glory Hinderking .

history

The ruling district belonging to the castle (also " Bifang Hinderking", ... Henrikinch) was a so-called glory in Westphalia . This 506 acre (approximately six square kilometers) district had separate jurisdiction. The origin of the name "Hinderking" is relatively undisputed and means something like belonging to Henrik (= Heinrich) .

It is possible that the Hinderking area is the original area of ​​origin of those of Volmarstein / Volmerstein; because before the Volmersteiners were enfeoffed with their eponymous headquarters, they were already in possession of Cologne fiefs north of Soest. The name "Heinrich" is also a common name for the Volmersteiners. Although the possibility is well founded, it has not yet been proven that the Glory Hinderking was a fiefdom of the noble lords of Volmerstein . The areas of glory included:

The high court of this area was in Katrop.

Over the centuries, parts of the bycatch were sold (as early as 1227, the Ruphoff farm to the Soester Stift St. Walburgis ) and lent to Soester patrician families, so that the bycatch was de facto in the Soester Börde until the end of the Middle Ages , more precisely: the Niederbörde, rose.

Buildings

The tower hill castle consisted of a few residential and farm buildings in addition to the defensive tower built on an artificial hill and a moat . In this Vorburg of Hinder King also was a chapel . The chapel was demolished during the Reformation and was laid down before 1543, which led to a protracted legal dispute between the Lords of the Recke as successors of the Lords of Volmerstein and the Soest Magistrate.

Current situation

Until the municipal reorganization in 1969, the former rulership area was shared by the municipalities of Soest, Katrop and Thöningsen. Since July 1, 1969, the entire bycatch area has belonged to the city of Soest. Today there is only one privately owned hill of the tower castle at the western end of the “Am Hinderking” path, which was the destination of the first archaeological excavations as early as 1881.
