Schlossberg, Ancient hillfort near Sassnitz, Germany.
Schlossberg is a prehistoric fortification on a forested hill near Sassnitz on Rügen Island. The rectangular earthwork is bounded by ramparts and ditches that remain visible in the landscape today.
The site originated in the Neolithic or Bronze Age and was used over many centuries. Archaeological finds show that people from different periods lived and settled here.
The fortification served as a medieval settlement where people left traces of their daily lives and crafts. Walking across the earthen walls helps visitors imagine how inhabitants once used this elevated space.
The hill is easily accessible from outside and offers a pleasant walk with good views of the surrounding area. Sturdy footwear is recommended since the ground is uneven and sometimes wet.
The pit in the southwestern section shows how modern changes shaped the historical landscape. Gravel extraction and mining in the 20th century left lasting marks on the site.
