Tips

Euphemia Anna 🌳

July 13, 2025

"Formerly a nighttime pen for the Hambach municipal pig herd during the forest grazing season on acorns and beechnuts in the autumn;
Construction probably at the beginning of the 17th century (date? On the preserved entrance column, coin find from around 1700);
Dimensions: Rectangle measuring 22.5 x 8.75 m (approx. 200 sq m), on the eastern exterior, foundations of the presumed shepherd's quarters measuring 4 x 3.30 m."
Source (quoted verbatim and in part): Information board on site

"This relic from the Hambach forest grazing period was awakened from its deep sleep in 2020. Geographer Klaus Hünerfauth from the Neustadt City Environmental Department and other helpers painstakingly uncovered the facility." The entire floor of the pig pen is paved with large-format sandstone slabs.

Remains of an old pasture for pigs. Similar to a cow.
