The castle of Jesteburg has never been found. Despite intensive archaeological investigations, no ruins of the former fortress have yet been located. Today, the castle can be found as a symbol of the municipality on the town's flag. What significance does the castle have as a symbol of identification in the negotiation of power structures in a rural community? Who can claim belonging to the castle? Can a castle be a place of commoning?
In spring 2023, the collective was invited to the Jesteburg Citizens' Academy for Art in Public Spaces. During our five-day residency, we created the basis for encounters and the collaborative construction of Jesteburg Castle with a mobile platform that was rolled through the streets of the municipality. Local people were asked to contribute to the collaborative project with materials from their homes. At the final day of our residency the found materials were reinterpreted and assembled for the construction of the castle in a performative workshop.
