Section wall Kröver Burgberg

The Section Wall Kröver Burgberg extends 170 meters in length and 60 meters in width, featuring a double wall system with forward trenches.

Archaeological excavations revealed at least two fortification phases with dry stone walls, including a post-slot wall dating from the Early La Tène period.

The fortification demonstrates the military engineering practices of ancient Germanic settlements through its strategic placement and construction methods.

Located 1.5 kilometers northwest of Kövenig at coordinates 49°59'36"N and 7°06'30"E, the site provides insights into historical defensive structures.

The discovery of ceramic sherds and a socketed axe during excavations helped researchers determine the exact time period of the fortification's use.
