The Hagburg lies opposite the castle ruin multistoried building on an elevator back at the beginning of the in Bavarian swabia. The medium sized barrier plant becomes as earlymedieval (8. to 10. Jhdt.) dates.
The attachment plant lies about a kilometer south of on the northeast hits a corner a wooded Those approximately triangular plant with approximately 5500 m inner surface is separated by a three-way barrier ditch system from the high surface.
The arc-shaped external barrier with submitted, flat ditch is to approx. 170 m long and still up to two m kept high.
About 10 m behind this barrier 5 to 8 m broad a ditch became as if approximation-prevent-eat dug.
As the third attachment line a low barrier ditch follows again after further 10 to 15 m.
1939 were archaeologically examined the Hagburg by E. Frickhinger. In two barrier cuts the remainders from Trockenmauern came to the appearance, beside hard burned ceramic(s) were some small finds, among other things a small, iron knife.
The steep abort edges of the mountain flanks were obviously still artificially abgesteilt and partly by a narrow Berme secured.
As is the case for many earlymedieval and older barrier plants any written and other messages are missing also here to the time position and history
Otto cutters (1979) and Kurt saw in the Hagburg "save "a karolingischen gentleman yard, which they assumed in the close . Such usually smaller castles were visited only in times of distress by the inhabitants of the yards lying in the valley. In the two typical examples on the Weiherberg and the kept.
These two small castles differ however clearly from the Hagburg. The size and the by Trockenmauern reinforced barrier system suggest rather a Hungary-temporal attachment.
On the close Weiherberg an enormous (approx. 10 hectares) Hungary protection castle is received, the Hagburg could a part of a Hungary-temporal castle system with the Weiherberg as main fortress have thus quite been. A comparable fortress system is accepted around the rose stone on the Swabian Alb. The Hagburg would have come probably the function to a dam strategically very favorably here, it is appropriate over the entrance of the valley.
Possibly also the unusually and deep double ditches can be interpreted around the close castle Niederhaus as part of such a "castle triangle ".
