The Garz castle wall is a Slavic castle wall southwest of the city of Garz / Rügen . The hill fort has an oval shape, is about 200 meters long and 140 meters wide. There is an entrance about in the middle of the west side. To the south of the Garzer See (in the direction of Renz ), the wall is slightly heaped up. Its height above the city of Garz is up to 15 meters.
history
The castle was mentioned as "Borgar Gardz" around 1165, when there were small armed conflicts with Danish warriors in front of the castle. The castle itself is said not to have been attacked, but it gradually fell into disrepair. From the Rügen Prince Wizlaw III. a new castle including a chapel was built in Garzer Wall around 1300. After his death in 1325 the castle fell into disrepair. Today there is a memorial to the fallen from the First World War on the wall and the Ernst-Moritz Arndt Museum in its immediate vicinity, where you can learn more about the history of the place.
present
The Garzer Burgwall is under nature protection as a ground monument. In terms of size and degree of conservation, it is one of the most important Slavic ramparts. Originally it was confused with that of Charenza Castle , which was reported in historical chronicles. More recent interdisciplinary research results from the years 2004 and 2005 have shown that the castle wall near Venz (between Gingst and Trent on the Neuendorfer Wiek) was much more likely to be the prince and temple castle of Charenza , which was built on June 16, 1168 - one day later the conquest of the temple castle at Cape Arkona - the Danish King Waldemar I and his military leader Bishop Absalon von Roeskilde was handed over without a fight after previous negotiations.
