Hünenburg, Archaeological fortification in Stadtlohn, Germany.
The Hünenburg consists of two concentric earthwork walls surrounding an area of 8.5 hectares near the Berkel River, with the inner wall rising six meters high.
Initial excavations of the site began in 1823, revealing ceramic artifacts from the 8th to 10th centuries and evidence of Bronze Age burial grounds.
The fortification protected the Hellweg trade route that connected the Rhineland through Stadtlohn to Northern Germany during the Carolingian period.
The entrance to the inner area features a preserved gate opening in the southwest section, marked by a metal plaque indicating the historical significance.
The archaeological site contains visible cart tracks at the former gate location, indicating regular traffic through the fortification during its active period.
