The Brackenburg was probably built in the late 13th/early 14th century. 1411 and 1486 siege by troops from Göttingen. Deserted since 1583 at the latest (probably as early as the middle of the 16th century or earlier).
The road Göttingen-Jühnde-Wiershausen-Hann runs along the slope of the Brackenberg. Münden (or Hedemünden), which certainly contributed significantly to the construction of the castle at this point. It may have been used to collect tolls or something similar.
