Kommende Welheim, Medieval water castle and monastery in Bottrop, Germany
The castle complex contained an outer bailey, economic yard, castle chapel, gardens, and a central water castle structure called the Komturhaus.
In 1230, Everhard von Welheim transferred his estate to the Teutonic Order, which developed it into a Commandery until its secularization in the 19th century.
The Commandery held patronage rights over St. Salvator Church in Duisburg, with the Komtur serving as hereditary marker judge in the Welheim region.
A memorial stone marks the location on Prosperstraße, while archaeological remains including moat and cellar vaults are preserved under monument protection.
The Commandery maintained breeding rights for Emscherbrücher horses in the Emscherbruch area, first documented in 1369.
