Ringwall Dünsberg, Archaeological site near Giessen, Germany.
The fortification consists of three massive ring walls enclosing a settlement area of 90 hectares on top of the Dünsberg mountain.
The settlement was constructed during the Iron Age between the 3rd and 1st century BCE, serving as a defensive structure for local populations.
Archaeological excavations have revealed numerous artifacts, including brooches and stamped ceramics, indicating Celtic influences in the settlement patterns.
The site contains fourteen numbered gate passages and features informative panels that guide visitors through the remains of ancient fortifications.
Terraced platforms were carved into the steep slopes to create space for wooden houses covered with clay, demonstrating advanced construction techniques.
