Wittringen Castle

Knight Ludolfus de Witteringe is today believed to have erected the castle around that time.

In 1438, the Herzog of Cleves granted the von Oeffte family enfeoffment of 50 percent of Wittringen.

In the mid-sixteenth century, Wittringen was given to the family of the Knights von Capellen as a betrothal gift.

In 1922, Freiherr Vittinghoff-Schell, then the owner of Wittringen, sold the castle to the city of Gladbeck.

The castle is surrounded by spacious forests, parks and the Gladbeck Stadium.
