Location and description

The Spielburgscholle is located around five kilometers northeast of Göppingen directly on the Hohenstaufen district of Göppingen on the southwest slope of the Hohenstaufen . The complex, which is around 600 meters long and 130 meters wide, consists of white Jura stones that are stored here at the level of the surrounding Brown Jura. There are predominantly mass limestone and bank limestone as well as marl of the White Jura, some of which are still preserved and tipped in rock. The whole thing is interpreted as a sliding floe, which was replaced by the Hohenstaufen, which was still much higher at that time , in the Young Tertiary- Old Pleistocene .

The nature reserve is completely enclosed by the landscape conservation area Hohenstaufen, Rechberg, Stuifen with Aasrücke and Rehgebirge , which is number 1.17.011 in the district of Göppingen. The play castle is located in the natural area 101 - Middle Alb foreland within the natural spatial main unit 10 - Swabian Keuper-Lias-Land . It is part of the FFH area No. 7224-311 Rehgebirge and Pfuhlbach . The Spielburgscholle is also protected as a geotope under the name Steinbruch in the Spielburgscholle W von Hohenstaufen .
