investment
The wooded Reckahn castle wall is located about one kilometer northwest of the village in the middle of an Ice Age damp and swampy lowland area. The recognizable two-part system is cut up by the Gänsgraben , a drainage ditch . Immediately to the northwest, a straightened tributary of the Plane River flows , the Alte Plane. Federal motorway 2 runs 350 meters to the north or northwest .
A hill fort , which is of Slavic origin, lies west of the goose trench. This swamp castle is round to oval. The central castle area is only slightly raised, about one to two meters above the surrounding area. In the north and west, a surrounding moat can still be seen, which fills with water when it is damp. This ditch is bounded to the outside by a wall that is also only about one meter high.
To the east of the Gänsegren there is an approximately trapezoidal second part. This is raised about two to two and a half meters. To the southeast, two ramparts run parallel. Another ledge is to the north. It is assumed that the part of the entire complex to the east of the Gänsegren is a modern building, which may have been constructed or at least expanded as part of a lengthy military maneuver by the Prussian army with tens of thousands of soldiers near Reckahn from spring to autumn 1741.
The entire complex, including the historical settlement and desertion of Duster Reckahn , which was located directly on the federal motorway, is entered in the list of monuments of the State of Brandenburg as a ground monument , as "Settlement Slavic Middle Ages, Castle Wall Slavic Middle Ages, Settlement German Middle Ages, Castle Wall German Middle Ages".
