Town Wall and “Hecke” (“Hedge”)

Nr. on the small map: 5 (Kleinheubach)

The oldest part of Kleinheubach, alongside the Marktstraße, was surrounded by a high wall where several parts still can be found at the longitudinal sides and the Rudenauer Creek. The gates at the upper and lower ends were demolished. The green center of the street quadrangle, the so called “Hecke” (hedge) is accessible by various walkways; i.e. from the Historic Town Hall. Here the town wall has been preserved in its entire length. Located in front of this wall was a wide hedge, more like rambling briars to prevent invasions. Later, smaller garden plots developed instead and have been cultivated until today.
