Rabenstein Fortress

The Rabentein fortress was built between 1209 and 1212 to keep peace on the road network between Wittenberg and Brandenburg. The castle is mentioned in texts in 1251 and again in 1277.

It was only after the Congress of Vienna in 1815 that the castle lost its military importance, so the inhabitants must be said to have had anything but a quiet existence. In 1298 Rabenstein was besieged, in the war of 1395 the castle was burnt down by an army from Magdeburg, and in the Thirty Years' War of 1636 the place was sacked by Swedish troops, to mention just a little of the battlefield but exciting history that the castle has brought with it from the 13th century.
