History
The plan of the construction of a reservoir for the Strohgäu - water supply for the communities Korntal, Weilimdorf and mountain Hof on the " horn ", the western steep slope of the elongated, reed sandstone covered Lviv, led in 1908 to a more detailed examination of the three existing ramparts with the upstream ditches. Lace these mountain tongue in north-south direction from the east. The ramparts are visible even today and rise up to eight feet high.
At the found of Feuerbacher pastor Richard Kallee and accurately described peoples Castle on the Lemberg excavation was carried out in July 1908 under the direction of Peter Goessler and Ludwig Sontheimer from Stuttgart, including the municipality of Feuerbach provided the means available in more generous ways. The assertions that the fortifications from the Celtic period where there have been thereby fully confirmed.
The three still recognizable today ramparts date from a time in the first millennium BC When digging through the section walls were found traces of masonry without mortar association between some length, partly by the Cross pasted, though now charred beams. In addition to the wall traces even shards and bones were found. It was found that these earlier settlements belong to two cultural epochs that apart 400 to 500 years: the Hallstatt period, 800-900 BC, and La Tène period, about 400 BC Of particular interest was an uncovered water line, which is undoubtedly rainwater accumulated.
According Goessler corresponds to the volatile and probably carried out in haste reworking of the wall I of the quality of the wall II, the " built carelessly, decorated in urge of need for fast defense " has been and remains of settlements of urnfield time ( 1300-800 BC) covered, while in his bed some Latène shards were found. Therefore, he assumed that there was in the La Tène period, that is, the military era of pre-Roman Iron Age, a refuge, a suitable not for permanent residence Fliehburg between the walls I and II. This region with an area of 70-80 a protected the settling in Feuerbacher Tal Rhaetian Celts against the aggressive Helvetii.
According Goessler the inhabitants of the prehistoric dwellings protected by section two walls, Wall I and III, which had been built with care. The walls on both sides were each composed of a mighty plate walls from Stubensandstein, and the intervening 2.5 m wide gap was filled with rammed earth. Burn marks indicate that this settlement of the Hallstatt period was after 1000 BC destroyed by fire. Neither the residents nor the destroyers are known. Kurt Jeremiah closes "a kind of rural settlement " in which " farmers in social and political order" had lived due to skeletal remains on. According to Karl Müller presented the water supply on a plateau a particular problem, but it was in spite of the lack of water, many prehistoric Höhensiedelungen.
The discovery of the three fortified with sand stone and earth mounds is now in the wooded and overgrown with underbrush area that has been stirred up in the course of time by marl pits and partially changed by the road construction difficult. All three are arranged in north-south direction ramparts touch the Feuerbacher trail directly or are not far from it, so that they can be identified with some difficulty. The Western Wall I is in very good condition and the easiest to discover.
