Burgstall Aubing, Medieval motte-and-bailey castle ruins in Munich, Germany.
Description
Burgstall Aubing is a medieval motte-and-bailey castle located in the Aubing neighborhood of Munich with surviving earthworks and foundation traces. The site consists of an artificially raised mound surrounded by ditch structures that are typical of settlements from the 10th to 12th centuries.
History
The settlement was built in the Early Medieval period as a local fortification to protect settlers and livestock. It formed part of the defensive network that guarded the growing population of the Munich region against raids.
Culture
The name refers to the castle-like function this settlement had during medieval times. The surviving earthworks show how people protected their communities back then.
Practical
The site is easily accessible and can be viewed from the surrounding area. The earthwork structures are most visible during spring and summer when vegetation does not obscure the mound and ditches.
Did you know?
Many visitors miss that the earthwork design reflects a daily life rhythm closely tied to animal husbandry. The structure shows how people and livestock had to share tight spaces for protection.
