Mauersechseck, Medieval archaeological site in Dossenheim, Germany.
The archaeological remains form an irregular hexagonal structure situated at 255 meters above sea level on the western slope of Hoher Nistler mountain point.
The central tower house, constructed in the 11th century, measured 9.70 by 8.00 meters with meter-thick walls and served as a fortified nobleman's residence.
Archaeological excavations uncovered ceramic fragments and bronze artifacts, including a ring with Saint Antonius inscription, indicating religious practices of medieval inhabitants.
The site, currently owned by Dossenheim municipality, stands only centimeters high and requires careful navigation through dense vegetation to observe the remaining structures.
The manor's outer walls create a distinct hexagonal shape, which gave rise to its name Mauersechseck, meaning six-sided wall in German.
