The Hohensyburg, also known as Syburg, is an impressive historical site in Dortmund, located on the Syberg about 245 meters above the confluence of the Ruhr and Lenne rivers. Its history dates back to 775, when Charlemagne conquered the Saxon refuge of Sigiburg. In the Middle Ages, the stone Hohensyburg was built, the ruins of which still remain today. The surrounding area is rich in historical finds dating back to the Neolithic period, and the Romans also left traces in the form of coin finds.
