Facts about Liebenburg in Eisweiler:
Landmark of the municipality Namborn is the Liebenburg on the Schlossberg, reminiscent of the eventful history of the region.
Probably the castle was built towards the end of the 12th century by the bishops of Verdun. First documented in 1220 as a fief of the Diocese of Verdun, it was named after the knight Bogemond de Lievenberc, whom the counts of Zweibrücken ordered as Burgmann.
Around the year 1430, the castle was first destroyed in internal riots Kurtriers. It came to the reconstruction and Henry of Sötern was 1479 with the castle invested. It lasted until the final destruction by the French in 1677.
A reconstruction was not considered anymore. Rather, the populace living in poverty of the surrounding villages made about all usable objects of the ruined castle ago. Over the years, bushes and hedges finally covered the miserable remains until the ruin on Schlossberg gradually fell into oblivion.
In 1926, the state conservator made a first attempt to dig up remains of the castle. Only in the 70s, however, laid free foundations, chambers and cisterns and found a variety of medieval finds:
Door fittings, arrow and lance tips, tile parts, clay harness, bridle and even the former gate coat of arms.
The walkable tower of Liebenburg, rebuilt in 1976, offers a unique view of the community and the St. Wendel Land.
Today, the tower and the historic remains of the walls are a good backdrop for medieval knights' festivals, which the community has been hosting for several years.
