The name Château de Malbrouck for Meinsberg Castle goes back to an incident that is more of an anecdotal nature. It refers to the English general John Churchill, 1st Duke of Marlborough, known in France as Malbrouck. During the War of the Spanish Succession, Marlborough marched with 100,000 men from Trier along the Moselle against France in 1705. He was blocked by the French Marshal de Villars, who was at Sierck with fewer than 50,000 men. Marlborough chose the castle as his headquarters and waited for support from the Margrave of Baden, which failed to materialize. Marlborough's troops ran out of supplies and his army began to disintegrate. Eventually Marlborough had to retreat to Trier and Maastricht in the night and fog. Meinsberg Castle is located in the immediate vicinity of the towns of Oberperl, Eft and Büschdorf. 🏰
