Herlingsburg

The Herlingsburg is a Latène period rampart and refuge (Volksburg) in the eastern Lippe Mountains in the area of ​​the municipalities of Lügde and Schieder-Schwalenberg in the Lippe district. The cultural and historical archaeological monument is located in an exposed location on the plateau-like 345 meter high Keuperberg. The archaeological evaluations indicate a pre-Roman Iron Age hilltop settlement of the late La Tène period, which came back into (warlike) use by the Saxons in the Carolingian period of the 8th century.
