Kreuzberg was first mentioned in a document in 893 in the Prüm Urbar as Cruceberg. Around 1100, the settlement came into the possession of the Counts of Are, who had a first house built on the Kreuzberg for one of their administrators.[5] Archbishop Konrad von Are-Hochstaden enfeoffed Kuno von Vischenich (also Cuno/Cono/Conz von Fischenich), knight and steward of the Archbishopric of Cologne, with Kreuzberg and allowed him to build a fortified castle on the mountain, the construction of which he supported financially.

After the castle was completed, Kuno and his wife Guda gave the castle as a fief to the Archbishopric of Cologne in April 1343 and were enfeoffed with it in return.[5] Kreuzberg Castle was thus an open house of the Archbishops of Cologne in the following period.

The hill fort of the 18th century is privately owned and therefore can not be visited. The only part of the complex that is open to the public is the castle chapel.
