    The Altenburg near Römersberg in the Schwalm-Eder district is one of the best preserved circular ramparts from Celtic times in northern Hesse. Its imposing walls are still clearly visible in the area today. In the south of the complex, the wall is extremely well and impressively preserved. The difference in height between the crest of the wall and the bottom of the trench is still up to four meters. The wall structures show that the only access to the facility was designed in the form of a pincer gate. Ceramic finds from the period between 750 and 150 BC BC show that the facility was used for long periods of time.
