Mecklenburg Castle
Mecklenburg Castle was a medieval castle and a residential capital of the Nakonid and Nikloting dynasties of the Obotrites. It was located just south of the modern village Dorf Mecklenburg, seven〔Herrmann, p. 189〕 kilometres south of the Bay of Wismar in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany. The only remnants of the ruined castle are parts of an earthen wall. Some scholars have associated Mecklenburg with the medieval trading emporium Reric.〔Herrmann, p. 113〕
==Etymology==
The travelling merchant Ibrahim Ibn Jacub described Mecklenburg as “Nakon’s Castle” in 965. By 995 it was documented as ''Michelenburg''〔Herrmann, p. 188〕 or ''Mikelenburg'', meaning "large castle" in Low German. In Latin, it was known as ''Magnopolis''. The later duchy and region of Mecklenburg derives its name from the castle. The probable Slavic name, ''Veligrad'' also (“great” or “large castle”).〔 was commemorated in a new Schloss Weligrad built between 1896 and 1898 for Duke John Albert of Mecklenburg.
