Burg Rothehof is a run-down castle in the construction of a medieval tower mound (moth) in the Wolfsburg city forest near the residential Rothehof in Lower Saxony.
The small castle complex was built around 1200 and was first mentioned in documents in 1304. She was a fortified residence of the Rothehofer line of sex von Bartensleben. In 1983 it has been declared an archaeological ground monument.
The remains of the former tower hill castle are located at the foothills of the Rothe-Berg and not far from the historic place Rothehof in Wolfsburger district Rabenberg. They are located directly on the stream of the Stemmelriede in the middle of the forest. A nearby street has been named as a castle wall because of its medieval layout.
In 1304, the castle is first mentioned in a document, as Kunigunde von Bartensleben Rothehof receives accessories. Castle Rothehof was at that time the fortified residence of a knight and his family, who rose in the 13th and 14th centuries from the state of the ministerials in the lower nobility. The strategic task of the castle was to protect and control the nearby trade route through the valley of the Aller. In 1362 Bartensleben was mentioned as the owner of Rothen Hoff. This was probably the Rothehofer line of the widely ramified sex, whose relatives were already sitting on the Wolfsburg at this time.
