There is a board with a QR code at the entrance to the Haldenburg. If you scan this one receives more information about the former castle complex.
In the 9th and 10th centuries, the eastern cavalry people of the Hungarians threatened southern and southwestern Germany. The cavalry warriors were feared archers who could fire their weapons at full gallop, but avoided foot combat if possible.
In response to the threat, numerous ramparts, some of them huge, were built as troop bases and refuges for the population.
