History:
The Meesenburg is located on the 225.8 m high Mesenkopf south of the city of Lübbecke. Count Otto I von Tecklenburg (1209-1263) is considered to be the client. It was built in the period before 1221, probably around 1213. The Counts of Tecklenburg owned extensive property north of the Wiehengebirge. The bishops of Minden and Osnabrück conquered and destroyed the castle shortly after it was built, presumably around 1213. The more recent Minden bishops' chronicle notes that their stones were used in the construction of the St. Andreas church in Lübbecke. (Andreas Kamm)
