The earlymedieval filter after castle stable (lock mountain) lies on the book mountain over the Ettringer local part filter after in the district in Bavarian swabia. The barrier castle points some typical characteristics of a Hungary protection castle 10. Century up.

History

A castle in Sibeneich is mentioned for the first time 1083 in "„the Annales Augustani "“. The first Staufer Friedrich conquered here together with the bishop of Augsburg and other one a castle of the Hermann of Salm. Whether it concerns with this, "„of robbers put up "“Veste the castle on the book mountain, is disputed. Some researchers locate this weir system on the .

The barrier plants on the book mountain are that 10. To assign century. Typologisch can arrange one it in the group of the Hungary barriers. Whether this castle was put on however as village protection castle against the magyarischen riders, or really only after the battle on the Lechfeld developed, cannot be decided yet clearly.

Since the serves the castle for a long time as Viehweide, the absence of the typical rider approximation obstacles before the barrier system of the fore-castle does not have to speak inevitably against a Hungary-temporal dating. In addition are such earth latch plates, wolf pits or earth embossment a characteristic of the large Hungary barriers in the range of the diocese Augsburg, as for instance the close waste dump castle. With smaller village protection castles of this time position they could not be proven so far yet. Here one made do obviously with fences or thorn striking.

Also the submitted second barrier ditch, which is regarded gladly as a copy of the after-Hungary-temporal external ditch of the waste dump castle, is not a clear indication for later dating. Graduated barrier systems of this kind are rather a characteristic of Hungary-temporal barrier plants.

Description

The barrier castle is fortifikatorisch extremely skillfully put on on a hill spur out-jumping eastward. The plant of the castle refers clearly to the model of the close large Hungary protection castle waste dump castle with Both castles are protected in the north by a deep, natural erosion gutter.

As is the case for the waste dump castle in the west a large fore-castle is pre-aged to the oval main castle. According to the model this fore-castle is separated by a double barrier ditch system from the high surface. The barrier heights and ditch depths were reduced here however clearly. The internal barrier is only about four, the Vorwall approximately three meters highly.

The area drops moderately steeply to the main castle. Approx. five meters high main barrier is pre-aged to that a neck ditch. The barrier is interrupted the center, the entrance made possible today a dam filling in the ditch.

In the east and the south the barrier plant was well protected by the steep wastes and becomes additionally secured by a Berme or a flattened slope ditch.

The castle way draws itself from the north the slope edge up. In the top the way is superelevated by a long, narrow area spur and meets finally the outside gate. The short northeast side of the main castle shows two clear fills, which point on tower places at the corners. The gate way follows the barrier process up to the front barrier of the main castle now to the right. Right the barrier of the fore-castle sets. Here the former main gate of the castle plant surely lay. A potential aggressor could be taken thus over a longer distance from the main castle and/or the area spur under bombardment.
