Historical Description | The Hanseatic town of Warburg a medium-sized town in the district of Höxter in the east of the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia. The origin of the place name Warburg is derived from Ward = place where peeped and -berg or -burg. In the 8th century a Saxon noble seat was located west of the town. The first mention of the town is a document from about 1010. It contains a depiction of its castle from the 11th century. According to Meinwerk's report, it was already of impressive size and strongly fortified in Dodiko's time. Three farmyards were built in the immediate vicinity to supply the castle. From Wartberg and its castle one had a good overview of the Diemel valley. Thus, the ford could be monitored, which had to be passed by the merchants going to Warburg and Paderborn. |
