Gefütterter Graben bei Ungelstetten, Archaeological canal structure in Winkelhaid, Germany

The Gefütterter Graben consists of earthen walls and a channel depression stretching for approximately one and a half kilometers near the Röthenbach area.

Construction of this medieval water management project began between 1423 and 1425 under the direction of Hans Velber, an architect from Ulm.

The canal structure represents medieval engineering methods and water management techniques used by leather workers, dyers, and butchers in Nuremberg.

The archaeological site remains accessible throughout the year via the Rotpunkt hiking trail, starting from the connecting road between Ungelstetten and Brunn.

The canal received its name from its clay lining, which was designed to prevent water seepage through the channel walls.
