Pöppendorfer Ringwall, Archaeological fortification in Kücknitz, Germany
The circular fortress features walls reaching heights between 8 and 12 meters above ground level, with a diameter of 100 meters.
Built by Slavic Wagrians in the 8th century, this defensive structure served as a fortification until its abandonment around the year 1000.
The archaeological site contains pottery fragments from the Neolithic period, indicating continuous human presence in this location over multiple eras.
Located near Waldhusener Forest, the site forms part of the Archaeological Nature Trail of Lübeck and offers direct access from Pöppendorf village.
Large boulders discovered during 19th-century excavations suggest the presence of a hidden megalithic structure within the fortress walls.
