Prehistoric Ringfort

Nr. on the small map: 14 (Bürgstadt)

Around 3200 BC, a significant Neolithic site with a wooden fort and rampart originated on the Bürgstadter Mountain. This first settlement period lasted around 250 years. During the Urnfield Period (1200-700 BC), the fort was secured again, this time with stone and soil walls. The population later settled in the valley and used the ringfort up to 400 BC (Celts) as a refuge fort. After archeological excavations in 1987/88, the municipality of Bürgstadt had the monumental gate of 900 BC reconstructed.
