geography
location
The Eschenberg is located in the center of the municipality of Gleichen a good 1 km north of Bremke and 750 m east of Appenrode , the next settlements east of the Eschenberg are Gut Sennickerode (1.8 km) and Bischhausen (2.7 km east-southeast), 2 km north is Gelliehausen ; these places belong to the community of Gleichen. The southern foothills of the mountain are called Laubberg, the eastern foothills are called Hegerberg; about 1.2 km northwest are the same . On the slope of the Eschenberg, two ditches arise that flow into the Wendebach in the southwest and the Bischhauser Bach , a tributary of the garden , in the northeast.
Natural allocation
The Eschenberg is naturally classified in the main unit group Weser-Leine-Bergland (No. 37) and in the main unit Göttingen-Northeimer Wald (373) to the sub-unit Reinhäuser Wald (373.2).
geology
Both the Eschenberg and the neighboring Gleichen are witness mountains made of shell limestone . In the surrounding areas this was eroded by the weather and water, so that in today's lower-lying surrounding area soils of red sandstone predominate.
Nature and protected areas
The mountain ash is in the conservation area Leinebergland ( CDDA -No 322560;. Expelled 1986 257.06 square kilometers large) and Bird Sanctuary Lower Eichsfeld (VSG No. 4426-401;. 137.1 square kilometers). In the upper area it is made up of a beech forest, the herb layer was described as moderately rich in species. In some areas, a small area transition to orchid-beech forest is described.
Fortification
At the northwest corner of the mountain plateau, which is relatively flat compared to the mountain flanks, there is a small section fortification consisting of two fortification lines, each consisting of an inner and an outer wall and a ditch in between. The ramparts and trenches are heavily sanded, but the inner fortification in particular is still clearly visible in the terrain. The height difference between the crest of the wall and the bottom of the trench is still 0.80 to 1.0 m, a maximum of 1.30 meters. The area enclosed by the inner fortification is only about 22 × 30 meters, the total area is about 60 × 60 meters. The fortifications begin on the western slope of the Eschenberg, run first to the east and then turn to the north, where they end on the mountainside. In this area the mountain slopes to the west and north are so steep that there are no fortifications.
It has not yet been possible to relate historical sources to the castle complex. According to Stefan Eismann, the complex is considered to be Neolithic, with fragments from the 11th / 12th centuries. Century suggest a renewed use in the High Middle Ages. In addition to ceramic finds, Klaus Grote also cites an iron knife from the high medieval period as reading finds as well as (no date given) timber-framed rubble from parts of the trenches. Flint was found scattered over the entire hilltop and the southeast slope of the Eschenberg . He then assumes that there was a hillside settlement on the Eschenberg in the Neolithic. According to this, the fortification could have been built on the remains of the Stone Age settlement.
In 1953 the system was measured.
Transport links and hiking
