The Trojaburg Calbe was a turf spiral and was located in what is now the Salzlandkreis in Saxony-Anhalt . In 1446 the Trojaburg in front of Calbe was first mentioned. The place is said to have served various pagan rituals , but these were banned in the 17th century. It became a popular destination in the 19th century. The field name “Wunderburg” has been preserved in the Hohendorfer Feldmark on the southern outskirts of Calbe (settlement “Am Weinberg”) to this day.
