Fülsenbeck
Fülsenbeck is a desolate place near Brilon .
The place was not far from the Fülsenbecke between Mittelberg and Gretenberg , northwest of Brilon. During excavations on the settlement area, traces of early imperial settlement, very old shards and a torn Roman lead weight were found, which is now in the possession of the state museum .
Like many other places, Fülsenbeck fell victim to the great desolation process in the late Middle Ages . It must have been a creeping, slow process. This began around 1300. There are different theories about the reasons for leaving the place. For example, the attraction of the city of Brilon is being considered. Another reason was plague epidemics and residents' need to seek shelter in fortified cities .
