Eifgenburg, Medieval hillfort in Burscheid, Germany
The archaeological site stretches across a steep spur overlooking the Eifgenbach valley, featuring a substantial ring wall and trench fortification system.
Archaeological excavations conducted between 1939 and 1940 revealed a greywacke sandstone wall construction with mortar, indicating occupation during the 11th century.
The fortification represents medieval defensive architecture in North Rhine-Westphalia through its preserved shield wall, gate structure, and rectangular tower remains.
The site lies within Naturpark Bergisches Land, with marked walking paths leading to the archaeological remains through dense deciduous forest.
The fortress contains a rectangular cellar structure measuring 12 meters by 4.5 meters, positioned 10 meters behind the inner shield wall.
