The Knoblauch castle wall , a former part of the municipality of Ketzin / Havel in the Havelland district , is the stable of a Slavic low castle , a Slavic castle wall .
The place was abandoned in 1968/69 in favor of a natural gas storage facility , but the castle wall was retained. It is an oval ring wall about 60 meters in size on a natural elevation. One can assume in it the seat of a local nobleman who administered the surrounding area. According to findings on site, the castle must have been built in the 10th to 11th centuries. After the area came under German sovereignty around 1150, the facility continued to be used. An early German hilltop castle now existed here . In 1197 the place was first mentioned as Clebeloc.
