Burg Greene, Medieval castle ruins in Greene Einbeck, Germany.
The remains of Burg Greene stand at 181 meters above sea level on a mountain ridge, featuring a 25-meter-high keep overlooking the Leinetal valley.
Built in 1308 by the Nobles of Homburg, the castle changed ownership to the Welfs in 1499 after payment of 12,000 Rhenish guilders.
From 1953 to 1961, the castle tower served as a memorial for German World War II prisoners, storing 7 million signatures requesting their release.
The castle grounds remain open from 8:00 AM to sunset, while the tower welcomes visitors between April 1st and October 15th each year.
The castle structure includes parts of the original outer walls, a rebuilt keep, and an archway leading to the upper fortification section.
