Hasenburg refers to a Zeugenberg (formerly Asenberg ) with an important Reichsburg of the same name on the hilltop in the eastern district of Eichsfeld in Thuringia . The name of the mountain is documented as early as 1073. Lambert von Hersfeld names the Zeugenberg as Asenberg in the Hersfeld annals in the medieval Gau Onefeld .
geography
The Zeugenberg with today's castle ruins of the same name and a castle wall is located on the southern border of the southern Harz foreland between the Ohm Mountains and Bleicheröder Mountains. The mountain forms an isolated Muschelkalk plateau, bordered on all sides by steep slopes, with a triangular shape at 487.4 m above sea level. NHN . It is four kilometers east of Haynrode and just under a kilometer north of Buhla on the northern edge of the Bleicheröder mountains . The Krajaer Bach separates the Zeugenberg and the southern Bleicheröder mountains on the Ziegenrück (460.8 meters), the Hubenberg (453.1 meters) and the Haarburg (453.1 meters).
According to the classification of the Thuringian State Institute for Environment and Geology , the Zeugenberg belongs to the natural area Ohmgebirge - Bleicheröder Mountains within the Muschelkalk -Platten und -Bergländer.
The wooded hilltop is easily accessible via hiking trails - such as the Eichsfeld hiking trail. The so-called ox jump is located on the northern edge of the hilltop as rock cliffs made of shell limestone on a demolition edge. From the summit of the mountain, which rises with a plateau about 160-200 meters above the valley floor, important roads connecting the southern edge of the Harz Mountains with the Mühlhausen Basin could be monitored .
At the western foot of the Hasenburg near the former Obermühle am Hagenbach , a tributary of the Bode , there is an interesting geological structure, the so-called natural bridge .
history
On the mountain plateau are the remains of the fortifications of Heinrich IV's imperial castle. Archaeological excavations on the Zeugenberg also produced numerous finds that show that the place has been continuously populated since the Stone Age and that subsequent settlers have repeatedly claimed it for themselves.
use
The Zeugenberg with the castle site on its hilltop - a protected ground monument - is used today for agriculture and forestry and is freely accessible to visitors.
