'Wasserschloss Haus Rodenberg' is a part of a medieval castle surrounded by a moat and lake in the south Dortmund Aplerbeck district first documented in 1290 when it was owned by knight Diederich von dem Rodenberg. After destruction in 1422 during a succession dispute of the Cleve-Marken line, it was rebuilt by Hermann von Voss zum Rodenberg with an added residential tower and converted to a barock water palace between 1689 and 1698. The palace fell into disrepair in the 19th & 20th century. Only the entrance castle and a managerial wing survived and were sold by the last aristocratic owners to the city of Dortmund in 1985, which restored and opened it to the public. Today it houses a children's theater, community college classes, and a restaurant.

The oldest and most detailed known depiction of House Rodenberg and its lands is a map from 1801 by Wesermann.

Like many aristocratic residences in the Dortmund area, Haus Rodenberg was designed as a fortified complex and was thus completely surrounded by water. Still in keeping with the simple design language of the Renaissance, the parts of the garden were laid out as delimited, almost square areas outside the moats and surrounded by quarry stone walls. In the center of the eastern or main garden was a round pool and a pavilion at the edge.

To the north was the tree farm with rows of fruit trees. The small square in the south, also almost square, with quarry stone walls and equipped with the same simple wayside cross, was surrounded by a moat and was therefore also called "water parterre".

The Rodenberg house is a moated castle in the Aplerbeck district of Dortmund. The castle fell into disrepair in the 19th and 20th centuries. All that remained of the former moated castle was the outer bailey with the business section.
