Burgstall Rettern pulpit

The Postal Retterner pulpit means a Outbound medieval hilltop castle on the "Retterner pulpit", about 700 meters above östsüdöstlich rescuers , a district of the market town Eggolsheim in the district of Forchheim in Bavaria , Germany . The "Retterner Pulpit" is the southernmost point of the Long Mile , and is 506.3  m above sea level. NHN on.

No historical or archaeological information is known about this former castle, but the castle site looks unfinished, so it may not have been completed. The site was presumably used as a hillside settlement during prehistoric times , and prehistoric readings were made at the southern tip , which are now in the Bamberg Historical Museum . The castle is roughly dated to the medieval era. Only ramparts and ditches have survived from the complex , the site is protected as a ground monument number D-4-6232-0390: Presumably hilltop settlement from the Neolithic , the Hallstatt and Early La Tène periods and medieval castle stables .

description

The castle site is located on the so-called Retterner Kanzel, a mountain ledge facing south-southwest from the Schützenberg, which drops very steeply into the surrounding valleys of the Weilersbach , the Jägersburggraben and the Sittenbach , except for its north-northeast side . On the south-eastern edge there is a 75 meter long rampart, which is followed by an inner ditch. However, this wall ends suddenly at both ends, without the terrain having caused this. Because of this, and also because of the lack of any further traces of fortification, especially on the north-northeast side that merges almost flat into a slightly constricted mountain saddle, one can probably assume that the facility was not completed.
