The Reisberg , also called Schlappenreuther Berg , is 553.9 m above sea level. NN high mountain or mountain spur on the western edge of the Franconian Alb near Schlappenreuth in the Upper Franconian district of Bamberg , Bavaria ( Germany ).
Geographical location
The Reisberg rises in the Franconian Switzerland-Veldensteiner Forest Nature Park within Franconian Switzerland around 600 m northeast of Schlappenreuth , an east-northeast district of Scheßlitz .
The plateau of the wooded Reisberg slopes steeply on three sides and is only connected to the plateau of the Franconian Alb on the east side.
The Leitenbach tributary Scheßlitzer Ellernbach flows through the valley to the west of the Reisberg in a north-south direction , including through the Scheßlitzer districts of Ehrl and Burgellern . On the southern flank of the mountain, federal motorway 70 runs between the junction of Scheßlitz in the west and Roßdorf am Berg in the east .
history
On the Reisberg there are still remnants of ramparts and ditches from a prehistoric section fortification of the Wallburg Schweißäcker . During the migration period there was a hilltop settlement on the Reisberg , which was protected by a post-slit wall . This wall is believed to have been built around 400 AD, but was apparently destroyed again due to warlike events before the middle of the 5th century. A reconstruction of the fortification cannot be proven, but the plateau was inhabited until the end of the 5th century. There are silver-gold-plated finds from the Childerich period , which indicate close connections to the Bohemian cultures of the time. There is no evidence of any use during the 6th century. However, the mountain was visited again in the more recent Merovingian times and in the Carolingian - Ottonian times.
Protected areas
On the south and south-east flanks of the Reisberg there are two small areas of the multi-part fauna-flora-habitat area Albtrauf from Dörnwasserlos to Zeegendorf (FFH no. 6032-371). The entire mountain also belongs to the western part of the Franconian Switzerland-Veldensteiner Forest protected landscape area, founded in 2001 and covering 1021.64 km² (LSG no. 322697).
