    🏰📜 The town wall of Hilsbach (a district of Sinsheim) is a fascinating example of medieval fortification in the Kraichgau region.

    Around 1310, the Counts of Oettingen relocated Hilsbach from the valley floor to a strategically advantageous promontory. This relocation resulted in the construction of an impressive fortification system, including a fortress wall up to 20 meters high, designed to protect the town from attackers.

      At this point, the former defense of Hilsbach and the almost fortress-like character are particularly impressive.

        There is a lot of history in this small town.
