It is a ring wall with a ditch in front of it, which was built on a flat ledge on the northern slope of the Heuchelberg. The Frankenschanze was built around 1000 AD at the latest and probably served as a permanently inhabited, fortified residence for high-ranking social circles.

An oval ring wall measuring 84 meters long and 66 meters wide, surrounded by a two-meter-deep ditch. The fort is popularly known as the "Frankenschanze," although it is still unclear when this rampart was built. Currently, it is assumed to have been built in the 11th or early 12th century.

In the forest you can find the remains of moats and walls from the "Frankenschanze". It is still unclear when the 84-meter-long and 66-meter-wide facility was built.
