The Burgstall Grünwald is located in 2050 southwest of Langenbruck , today a district of the Upper Palatinate town of Vilseck in the Amberg-Sulzbach district of Bavaria . The Burgstall is located in the Grünwald desert on the north bank of the Hammerweiher.

description

At the edge of an earth wave protruding into the Hammerweiher there is a 3 m high truncated pyramid-shaped earth pile. This is 31 × 32 m at the base and is heavily excavated. On the northwest and northeast sides, shallow hollows indicate the remainder of a ditch .

history

Grünwald is mentioned for the first time in 1432, when Ulrich von Freudenberg reached a settlement with the Bamberg Bishop Anton von Rotenhan because of the damage caused by the Hussites to Gruenwalde . Grünwald appears in 1818 as one of the 49 newly formed rural communities , with Grünwald being reassembled from the existing locations ( Altenweiher , Altneuhaus, Bernhof, Heringnohe , Kellerbühl, Kittenberg, Klausen , Sorghof , lubricating hut, cutting saw). Grünwald was replaced in 1938 as part of the expansion of the Grafenwöhr military training area, but was still inhabited until mid-1955; at that time it belonged to the political municipality of Langenbruck. Due to the current use in the Grafenwöhr military training area , the facility is severely impaired and there is almost no trace of Grünwald. Today there is a barrack with a grandstand as a shelter for target practice (“Blue Ridge Way”).
