Kirrberg is a hamlet in the municipality of Balzhausen in the Swabian district of Günzburg .
location
The place is about two kilometers south-southeast of Balzhausen on the western edge of the Riedel between the valleys of the Hasel or the Mindel and the Bernbächlein, a tributary of the Zusam .
history
In the 1970s, remnants of Neolithic settlement and a Roman villa rustica were found a little north of today's hamlet .
It is not possible to determine exactly when the present-day town was built. It is known, however, that one of the predecessor chapels of today's chapel was built in the 16th century.
Attractions
- Chapel of St. Mary : built in 1912; two previous chapels in the same place are archived;
- Remains of a Roman villa rustica about 250 m north of today's settlement; The excavated foundations of this Roman manor have an area of approximately 800 m². The remains of hypocausts were found in the area of three rooms . At some distance from the remains of the main house, the remains of a brick kiln were found, based on which one can conclude that there was a small brick factory, presumably for the estate's own use.
