Mount Heidengestied / Der Heidengestied

A hill between Weiherberg and the Wetland. Long ago ther was a ringwall up there of which still some is left. Romantic pseudo-science claimed it was a celtic (IOW heathen) sacrificial place or residential castle, today it is billed early medieval, probaply built by the owners of Raderach castle around the beginning of the second millenium for civilian defense in emergency or as lifestock corral. The later is made most likely through a map from the late middle ages that calls the place "Herdengestaud". / Ein Huegel zwischen Weiherberg und dem Ried. Da oben gab es mal eine Ringwallanlage von der Spuren erhalten sind. Die pseudoforschung der Romantik etablierte dass dies mal eine kultische Viereckschanze oder der Hof eines Keltenfursten gewesen war, aus heidnischer Vorzeit. Heute wird sie auf um oder nach 1000 unserer Zeitrechnung datiert. etwas das die Raderachs wohl als Fluchtburg fuer Dorfbewohner oder auch als Nutztierpferch anlegen liessen. Fuer letzteres spricht eine Bezeichnung auf einer spaetmittelalterlichen Flurkarte als "Herdengestaud".

I'm in my third year in journalism at university and enjoy being inspired by the landscapes in this group to write my essay on the challenging topic of ecology in the future. Our world and our nature are very important, so I want to write a really good essay on this topic. Thanks to the real essay professionals for their help in this important matter.
