The portion fixing Tischnerberg is an Outbound pre- and early historical fastening system on a south-facing mountain ridge, the so-called Tischnerberg . It is located around 1700 meters east of the center of Degerndorf in the Upper Palatinate municipality of Lupburg in Bavaria , Germany . No historical or archaeological information is known about this section fortification, ceramic fragments from the interior of the complex date from prehistoric times, and the mountain was also walked on during the Hallstatt period . Only a multiple wall and ditch system has survived from the complex. The place is protected as ground monument number D-3-6836-0037: ramparts of prehistoric and early historical times, hilltop settlement of the Hallstatt period .

Geographical location

The attachment is located at 535.6  m above sea level. NN altitude on a south-facing mountain spur towering over a small plateau , which drops steeply on the north and east sides up to 85 meters into the dry valley Saugraben . Another ground monument is located here, the Gottesberger Höhle (F 45), from which finds from the Neolithic , Bronze and Hallstatt / Early La Tène periods also come. Human skeletal remains were also found in the cave. On the northwest side there is another elevation connected by a saddle , which in turn follows the Buchberg , separated by another saddle . On the first saddle there is a group of burial mounds consisting of at least eight hills from the Bronze, Hallstatt and Early La Tène ages. In the west and south, the Tischnerberg falls only slightly steeply to a plateau that is bordered by the valley of the Schwarzen Laber .

description

The section fortification with an irregular oval inner surface of 75 by 20 meters is located on the summit at the southern end of the Tischnerberg and is additionally protected by an upstream fortification. This pre-fortification is located about 50 meters in front of the neck ditch of the actual section wall at the gently sloping north-western end of the mountain, another slightly lower crest that is connected to the crest by a saddle. It consists of an approximately 50-meter-long wall extending from northeast to southwest over the entire width of the ridge, which is still one meter high. From the outside of the wall, its height is about three meters due to the slope of the terrain.

Ten meters in front of the section wall, a four meter wide and 0.5 meter deep neck trench crosses the ridge. Today it was almost completely leveled. The western slope of the ridge between the rampart and the neck ditch also appears to have been artificially steepened.

The actual section fortification starts with a vertical rockfall in the southeast and stretches on the steeply sloping northeast side as a flat wall towards the north. Here this wall turns to the southwest and crosses the ridge. It then runs south on a natural rock step several meters high, bends at the southern tip of the hilltop and ends about two meters in front of the vertical rock walls. This is where the earlier access to the facility was. The height of the wall is up to a maximum of 1.5 meters, its width is very different. In the wall there are several deep funnel pits on the west side, which are of recent origin. The inner surface of the fortification is divided by a natural step into a smaller and lower north part and a south part about twice as large.
