Force places and cult places in SAXONIA in GERMANY
High castle:
Burzelmountain:
The steep rock slopes of the Burzelmountain offered always already relative security to
humans, so that here already early humans must have settled. The two high-lying sources offered in addition still ideal living conditions.
Approx. 360 v.Chr around the master castle of the latenezeitlichen population a ring barrier from stones and oak bar was established, which led along the gerodeten plateau and protected also the sources.
For a source an oval waterbassin was struck in rock, to which stone stairs down-led. With the N-source one found numerous horse teeth in a deep pit. Further pits with fire victims point on a cult place. One
assumes the Burzelberg was in the late Latenezeit rather a meeting and a ritual place a settlement.
