Middle Ages
In the history of Europe, the Middle Ages or medieval period lasted approximately from the 5th to the late 15th centuries, similarly to the post-classical period of global history. It began with the fall of the Western Roman Empire and transitioned into the Renaissance and the Age of Discovery. The Middle Ages is the middle period of the three traditional divisions of Western history: classical antiquity, the medieval period, and the modern period. The medieval period is itself subdivided into the Early, High, and Late Middle Ages. Population decline, counterurbanisation, the collapse of centralised authority, invasions, and mass migrations of tribes, which had begun in late antiquity, continued into the Early Middle Ages. The large-scale movements of the Migration Period, including various Germanic peoples, formed new kingdoms in what remained of the Western Roman Empire. In the 7th century, North Africa and the Middle East—once part of the Byzantine Empire� ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Hodenhagen Castle
Hodenhagen Castle (German: ''Burg Hodenhagen'') is the site ('' Burgstall'') of a former lowland castle (''Niederungsburg'') built in the 13th century in the vicinity of Hodenhagen in the German state of Lower Saxony. This medieval manor house only lasted just under 100 years and was destroyed in 1289. Location The castle was situated in an uninhabited region by the important river crossing of the old post road over the River Meiße. Today the site of the castle is just a few metres from the entrance to the Serengeti Park, half in a small copse and half in farmland. Description We have an idea of the former appearance of the castle site from a sketch drawn by Wilhelm von Hodenberg in the middle of the 19th century. At that time the last remnants of the castle - the earth ramparts, moats and stone ruins - were levelled or removed. According to the sketch the castle had an oval rampart, 109 x 95 m in diameter, which bordered immediately on the Meiße. The rampart was origi ...

Hodenberg
The Hodenberg family is an old German noble family originated from Lower Saxony. The originally '' hochfrei'' family line belonged to the fourth military feudal level or ''Heerschild''. History Since early times the von Hodenberg lords were protectors (''Schirmvögte'') of the monastery at Bücken founded by Archbishop Rembert of Bremen. Their name was probably derived from this hereditary office, because in Low German the word ''Hode'' means ''Hut'' or ''Schirm'' (i.e. protection or shield). At one time Hodenberg Castle on the Weser, the oldest ancestral seat of the family, was situated in the vicinity of this monastery. The oldest known progenitor was ''Hermann Hode'', who was mentioned in 1149 in a deed by the Archbishop of Bremen, Hartwig I of Stade. Somewhat later another ''Hermann Hode'' appeared who, from 1168, was frequently named amongst the followers of Henry the Lion. The construction of Hoya Castle, not far from Hodenberg, built by the ambitious counts of Ho ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
