Hünenburg bei Bielefeld, Archaeological site in Bielefeld, Germany
The Hünenburg fortification spans across 2.8 hectares on a hilltop in the Teutoburg Forest, featuring circular earthen terraces and defensive structures.
Construction of the initial wooden post wall with stone facing dates back to the 4th century BC, during the pre-Roman Iron Age period.
Archaeological excavations conducted between 1910 and 1913 uncovered evidence of Celtic settlements and their defensive construction methods in ancient Germania.
The site incorporates walking trails along the Teutoburg Forest ridge path, allowing visitors to explore both archaeological remains and natural surroundings.
Radio-carbon analysis of discovered artifacts indicates the fortress served as a refuge castle for neighboring settlement areas during periods of conflict.
