Burg Rauendahl, Medieval castle ruins in Hattingen, Germany
The remains of Burg Rauendahl lie on the right bank of the Ruhr River, opposite to Haus Kliff at an elevation of 90 meters.
Count Eberhard I of Mark destroyed the fortress in 1287 as a response to the activities of a Hardenberg robber knight who controlled the area.
During the construction of a coal storage facility in 1803, workers discovered ancient urns, tools, weapons, and horse equipment, which Carl Arnold Kortum examined.
The stone foundations and steps of the former castle structure become visible during periods of low water levels in the Ruhr River.
The castle site now stands within the grounds of the former Henrichshütte industrial complex, marking the transformation from medieval fortress to industrial land.
