      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.

      Particularly striking is the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial, which was inaugurated in 1902 to honor Kaiser Wilhelm I. It stands monumentally on the site and offers a great view over the Hengsteysee and the Ruhr valley. Over time, the monument has been redesigned several times, most notably in 1935 in the style of Nazi architecture. Another highlight is the nearby St. Peter's Church, the oldest religious building in Dortmund, whose origins date back to the 8th century.

      Today, Hohensyburg is a popular destination for hikers and history buffs. There is a mining hiking trail that sheds light on the region's mining history, as well as a casino that provides variety. The scenic location with a view of the Sauerland and the Hengsteysee makes Hohensyburg an ideal destination for exploration and leisure activities.
