The castle wall near Körzin is a castle stable southwest of Berlin. It is located in the district of Stücken of the municipality of Michendorf , but locally closer to the location of Körzin , a part of the municipality in the Zauchwitz district of the city of Beelitz in Brandenburg . It was a Slavic rampart . In terms of location, it was a low castle .
The ground monument is a good one kilometer north of the village of Körzin am Königsgraben, in the middle of the meadows near the Blankensee . Judging by the finds was Wallenburg in the 9th to 11th centuries. The oval complex has an area of 85 meters by 65 meters and is now overgrown with individual bushes and trees. In the Slav period the water level of the Blankensee was a lot higher, so that today's meadows around the castle wall were constantly damp and boggy. As a result, the castle was well secured against sudden attacks by the conditions at the time and could only be reached via a wooden bridge.
The Brandenburg amateur archaeologist Hermann Busse examined the castle wall in October 1892 and April 1895. He documented the finds of numerous vessel shards decorated with wave ornaments as well as bones, clay paws , coal, snails, pieces of deer antler and a whetstone, which he handed over to the Märkisches Museum and the Ethnological Museum (then the Royal Museum of Ethnology) in Berlin.
