"Medieval tower hill."
Source: Bavarian State Office for Monument Preservation
Unfortunately the area was plowed earlier, so that today only the center point, a knoll with a diameter of approx. 50 m and an elevation of approx. 5 m, can be seen with a depression at the top. The small area is forested, but was thinned in early 2019.
Note: An example of a tower hill castle is the Ebermannstadt stables, which can still be clearly seen in the terrain and is also very well described, approx. 15 km SE from here. komoot.de/plan/@49.7788324,11.1663741,17z?sport=hike&waypoint=hl:661152

During demolition work around 1930, during which the tower hill was reduced to half its original height, bricks and fragments of stove tiles are said to have been found, but their whereabouts are unknown.
The site is protected as a ground monument number D-4-6231-0011 "Medieval Tower Hill".
