Jennyberg
The Jennyberg , former name Silberberg , Weingebirg am Silberberg and turned towards the Jeni , is a northeastern rock spur of the Anninger ( Föhrenberge Nature Park ), which borders directly on the southwest of the Lower Austrian town of Mödling . The old field name Jeni gave the Jennyberg its name.
It shows traces of the " Baden culture " (see: Baden near Vienna ) an archaeological culture from the Copper Age . A hilltop settlement from this era was found on the mountain. In 1970 and 1971 excavations were carried out to a length of 300 meters. The name Leithaprodersdorf Group was suggested for this culture by the prehistorian Elisabeth Ruttkay .
Among these finds are the oldest evidence of wagons in Austria. A clay car model from 3000 BC was made. Found.
There are also finds from the early Neolithic Boleráz group, named after a site in Boleráz , Slovakia. On the east side, between Schießstättenweg and Goldener Stiege, there is a main dolomite quarry, which was first shown on a map from 1610 as a sand and quarry on Silberberg.
The Jennyberg today
The shooting range on Steinbruchweg zum Jennyberg, built in 1959 for the crossbowmen of the Mödling traditional costume and home association, has not been used for several years and is now the location of an annual summer festival. A former air raid protection tunnel of the Flugmotorenwerke Ostmark in Wiener Neudorf from the Second World War on the “Golden Staircase”, which also runs there, is walled up and inaccessible.
