    Around 1240, the Neue Isenburg, named after the Isenburg in Hattingen, was built above the Ruhr by Count Dietrich von Altena-Isenberg. Only 48 years later it was destroyed again. Its ruins were only excavated again at the beginning of the last century.

    The Neue Isenburg ruins are a side view of the BaldeneySteig.

      Baldeneysteig-Seitenblick ruin Neu-Isenburg
      A small loop that lies directly on the Baldeneystig and can therefore be included in the tour.

      The remains of the medieval Isenburg tower on a rocky spur high above the Baldeneysee. 750 years ago it was one of the largest and most important fortifications in the region, from where the Essen area was dominated.
      The entire castle complex is under building and monument protection and is owned by the city of Essen.

      In September 2002, a historical adventure trail was opened on the castle grounds, which gives visitors information on six information boards about the history and life of the castle and its inhabitants.

        A nice and quiet place. The ruin is not much to see, but the remaining walls make a nice picture!
