    In 1288 the Archbishop of Cologne Siegfried von Westerburg was defeated in the Battle of Worringen, and the archbishopric of Kempen, which represented the northern branch of the Archdiocese of Cologne, was threatened from several sides.
    That is why Kempen was fortified from around 1290 - initially only with an earth wall that was reinforced with palisades and a ditch. The ardent zeal of the Kempeners in the fortification work was rewarded shortly afterwards with the award of city rights.
