The Kranenburg was a castle from the early 14th century north of today's Steinhude . It was washed over by the rising water level of the Steinhuder Meer around 1602 . The oval castle complex had the dimensions of about 90 × 120 m. The structural remains are currently in a water depth of 0.5 and 1.5 meters. They form the Shoal Castle, which was mapped in 1982 for the German Basic Map .
history
Most of the story is unknown. The bishops of Minden , the Counts of Schaumburg, but also the Counts of Roden are named in various sources as builders or castle owners . In 1320 the Kranenburg was named in a document in which Count Adolf VIII. Von Schaumburg and Duke Otto von Braunschweig-Lüneburg agreed to conquer the castles Ricklingen , Wunstorf , Bokeloh and Blumenau in the war against the Minden monastery . Duke Otto is supposed to conquer the Rehburg , Count Adolf VIII. "Ok de Kranenborgh" (also the Kranichburg).
By 1600 at the latest, the castle was flooded and abandoned as a result of the expansion of the Steinhuder Sea.
Archaeological research
Around 1766 AC Ernsting, a doctor and pharmacist from Rodenberg , examined the shoal. Among other things, he described a stone square, which consisted of rectangular, hewn sandstones from the Wiedenbrügger Berg and sand slate from the Wölpinghausen Atgeberg. On the edge of the moat, Ernsting found wooden driven piles that were set flush with the ground.
Various finds were recovered in 1885, including ceramic pieces from the 13th and 14th centuries, two spindle whorls , brickwork clay , charcoal and animal bones. The archaeologist Carl Schuchhardt handed it over to today's Lower Saxony State Museum in Hanover in 1905 .
In 1982, with the help of divers holding the reflectors and a total station on the promenade, a re-measurement of the shoal for the German basemap took place.
As early as the early 1950s and 2003, shipping obstacles were removed from the shoal, including piles in particular, but also stones.
In summer 2009, the Lower Saxony State Office for Monument Preservation carried out an investigation of the shallows using geophysical methods ( geomagnetics , georadar and sediment sonar ). This showed clear contours in shallow water.
