Steinburg, Lowland castle and hillfort in Süderau, Germany.

The archaeological complex consists of two distinct fortifications: a lowland castle and a Celtic hillfort with stone ramparts and earthwork defenses.

The Celtic settlement contained three concentric rings of defensive walls stretching three kilometers in length and encompassing 66 hectares of protected terrain.

The Steinburg Museum, established in 1929 between Großer and Kleiner Gleichberg, exhibits numerous Celtic artifacts discovered during archaeological excavations.

Archaeological research continues at both sites, with the hillfort sections requiring careful preservation due to natural erosion and past quarrying activities.

The basalt blocks from the volcanic origins of Großer and Kleiner Gleichberg provided natural building materials for the Celtic fortification walls.
