Mundburg, Medieval castle ruins in Müden, Germany.
The castle was constructed on a sandy island in the Aller lowlands, reaching a height of 2.5 meters above the surrounding terrain.
Bishop Bernward built the castle around 1013 with Emperor Otto III's approval as part of a defensive line against Norman and Slavic invasions.
Between 994 and 1010, the castle served as a location for bishops and counts to mint coins, including ransom payments for Saxon nobles.
Archaeological surveys conducted in 2013 aimed to determine the exact location of the castle, which lies west of Gut Dieckhorst.
The name Mundburg derives not from 'mouth' despite its location near river confluences, but translates to 'protection castle' in medieval German.
