Weilerhügel, Medieval fortification in Alsbach-Hähnlein, Germany.
The castle site features a central mound measuring 55 meters in diameter and rising 11 meters above the surrounding marshy landscape.
The first documented mention of the castle appears in a charter by Archbishop Adalbert of Mainz dated November 29, 1129.
The Weilerhügel structure represents a typical design of lowland castles constructed between the 11th and 13th centuries in medieval Germany.
The castle grounds contain archaeological remains protected by Hessian monument laws, requiring permits for any research or modifications.
Archaeological excavations in 1876 revealed multiple wall foundations and medieval pottery, now preserved in the Hessian State Museum Darmstadt.
