The remains of the Stecklenburg ruins.

The two-part castle complex was built in the third quarter of the 11th century as an imperial castle under Henry IV and was first mentioned in documents in 1164. The construction of the outer and main castle probably took up to ten years. The purpose of the complex, which had a total length of more than 350 m, was to protect Quedlinburg and the nearby military roads. In 1180 it was conquered by Frederick I (Barbarossa) during military conflicts. In 1273 the castle was acquired by the Counts of Regenstein, which led to a power struggle between the Bishop of Halberstadt and the Counts of Regenstein. Bishop Albrecht II alone is said to have visited the castle nine times between 1326 and 1351. In 1351 the castle complex came into the possession of the bishops, who then gave the castle back to the Counts of Regenstein as a fief. From 1479 onwards the Quedlinburg Abbey was the fiefholder of the castle. Other owners of the castle were the Dukes Ernst of Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg and Albrecht of Saxe-Coburg, and from 1740 also King Frederick II of Prussia. The Prussian state later bought the castle for demolition. It then became the property of the city of Quedlinburg and in 1887 it became state property again. Source: Wikipedia
