The castle complex at the confluence of the Aue and Becke was built in 1354 by the Knights of Oumünde, members of the Stedinge family and friendly knights. This was done contrary to the wording of a peace treaty from 1305 that the Archbishop of Bremen had concluded with the Knights of the Monastery. One of the conditions of this treaty was the destruction of the first Blumenthal castle, which was located a few hundred meters north of the current one above the flood plain. The builders and residents of the House of Blomendal from 1354 were, like their ancestors, robber barons who caused considerable damage to Bremen's trade. Originally, the building that still exists was secured by a defensive tower and fortifications. A drawbridge spanned the moat. A gate led into the courtyard under what is now the Hoyer Hall. The sandstone slabs in the castle courtyard mark the course of the foundations of the tower and defensive wall. The castle included a watermill and a gatekeeper's house. According to current knowledge, the main building and the gate wing have been preserved in their original floor plan - with the exception of the gate system. Office building - now kindergarten -, coach house and barn were added later. Defensive wall, defensive tower and stepped gable were destroyed or dismantled.

A castle in Bremen?

You can find it in the northern district of Blumenthal. The castle complex at the confluence of the Aue and Becke was built by robber barons in 1354. The medieval moated castle has been a listed building since 1973. In 1969 and 1971, paintings were discovered on the wooden ceilings of the Blomendal house. They were completely protected by a second high ceiling that was added later and are still well preserved today.
