Neu-Wolfskehlen Castle once stood here. A hill and a raised area can still be seen with a trained eye. The castle was probably built at the beginning of the 13th century. However, it was destroyed about a hundred years later during a feud between the Archbishopric of Mainz and the German King Albert. Investigations in 2014 revealed that the castle was a square fort with a simple residential building and a tower.

Great remnants, lots of history in there.

Really great facility. Especially when the weather is nice! 🧱🏰

Dornberger Castle - older time The Dornberg people call the remains of the old castle the "little castle". In fact, only an inner and outer castle gate, the outer walls of the farm buildings integrated into today's district adult education center and a wall of the residential building are left of the former complex. A hilltop castle and a residential tower mark the beginning of the Building history. The Lords of Dornberg first appeared as owners in 1160. They expanded the complex into a moated castle. In 1259 the Counts of Katzenelnbogen took over the inheritance of the Dornbergers. A large complex with a main and outer castle was built. 1479 to the Landgraves passed over by Hesse, the castle was destroyed in 1689 in the course of the Palatinate War of Succession. Dornberger Castle - more recent Even after its destruction in 1689, Dornberg Castle was of regional importance. Under Landgrave Ernst Ludwig (1678-1739) a hunting lodge was built and the pheasantry set up. The Hesse-Darmstadt office of Dornberg was based here. The state reforms in 1821 led to the establishment of the district of Dornberg. Today's district savings bank was founded in his office building in 1826. In 1832, the district of Dornberg became the district of Groß-Gerau, whose administration moved to Groß-Gerau in 1837. The forest administration, which had existed since 1823, remained in Dornberg and was given the building that still exists today around 1890. In 1953, the district set up a youth hostel in the castle. In 2005, on the site of the buildings erected after the war, the concise new building of the district adult education center was built, which now has its domicile here.

A special place of experience and at the same time a natural local recreation destination is located between the city center and the Main: the Rüsselsheim Fortress. With its more than 600-year history, the fortress is not just a place where you feel transported back to the time of Landsknechts and princes. On a tour of the wall and through the ditch, you can discover the defense system and learn more about the life of the lansquenets behind their meter-thick walls. The early modern Hessian state fortress, with its origins in 1399, is also home to the award-winning City and Industry Museum, which offers tours of the fortress. Ramparts, roundels, outer and inner ditch are explored. The small exhibition in the well room, which is otherwise not accessible, contains impressive excavation finds from the extensive defense work.

Dornberg Castle, formerly the seat of the Lords of Katzenelnbogen, is a destination well worth seeing for young and old. The area still has great historical significance for the district of Groß-Gerau. More information on this at https://byc-news.de/gross-gerau/freizeittipp-das-schloss-dornberg-in-gross-gerau/
