Burgstall Kaplinz

The Postal Kaplinz is an Outbound hilltop castle on a spur between Owingen and Hohenbodman . The well-preserved castle stable is located in the municipality of Owingen in the Lake Constance district ( Baden-Württemberg ).

description

The probably early medieval complex belongs to the two castle stables Leonegg and Falkenhalden ( Heiligenberg ) and the Schloßbühl south of Deggenhausertal -Burg to the largest castle stables in the Lake Constance district. All four systems were built on spurs and are similar in structure.

Structural remains have not been preserved, only a few prehistoric ceramic fragments are found. The dating is based on the features of the site that are still visible today; the ceramic fragments do not confirm that the complex was used earlier, but it is more likely.

The Burgstall is located on a mountain spur that juts south into the valley . It was first separated from the plateau to the north by a shallow neck ditch . Alois Schneider suspects that this shallow trench is older than the rest of the complex.

To the south of this trench, a significantly deeper, steeper section trench separates an almost trapezoidal plateau, which was also protected on its south side by a similarly designed trench. Beyond this trench, again to the south, lies an almost circular and slightly higher area. This area was secured in the southern part by a well recognizable arched trench with a wall that runs around the spur. The flanks of the complex are among the steepest embankments compared to the castle stables mentioned above.

history

There is no reliable written mention of the facility. Alois Schneider believes it is likely that it was a castle belonging to the Knights of Ramsberg , which was mentioned in 1222 in disputes with the Salem monastery . The origin of the field name Kap Linz or Kapelle Linz is not clear.
