Burgstall Hahnenburg

The Postal Hahnenburg is an Outbound Spur castle , the 240 m west-southwest of Mitterauer Bach and m southeast from 1975 Under Auerbach in the Upper Palatinate district of Schwandorf in Bavaria is located. While the places Mitter- and Unterauerbach are mentioned in the land register of the Walderbach monastery from October 11, 1249, further historical or archaeological information about this castle is missing, it is roughly dated as medieval .

The towns of Ober- , Mitter- and Unterauerbach lie along the Auerbach . From Mitterauerbach there are three farms with the castle stable on the western edge of the Auerbach valley. The Burgstall forms the top of a ridge protruding from the west onto Mitterauerbach. It drops steeply about 5 m to the valley floor to the northeast to the east. The castle area forms only a small step towards the back country and the mountain stepped farm there. The previously clearly recognizable moat was filled in in 1921 by the construction of a cellar in the castle hill, by the construction of a stable building and later a new residential building (house no. 6). The castle hill is difficult to see today, but it seems to have been rounded and square with an upper diameter of about 13 m. The field name "Hahnenburg" has still been preserved. The Burgstall is registered under the ground monuments of Neuburg vorm Wald with the designation D-3-6639-0019.
