Gorse piece, a look back into the past

The non-forested area on the plateau terrace between the narrow valley of the Rhine and the Weilerbach is officially designated as Niederwald, but is popularly known as the gorse piece. This area is of particular importance, since in pre-Roman times it was a settlement or a high fortress of the Trever Celts. The settlement of this area took place in the Iron Age almost 3000 years ago. The steeply sloping rock faces towards the Rhine and the hamlet stream represent a natural and insurmountable barrier. To the west, the high fortress was secured by a 10 m high wall. The protection provided by the wall was further strengthened by a trench in front of it. The Celtic hilltop settlement was founded by the Boppard doctor Dr. Friedrich Funk discovered and declared a monument zone by the district administration. In the Rhein-Zeitung of 04.05.2001 it says: “Because of its excellent preservation and the uniqueness of the overall construction, the preservationists believe that the complex is an important example of Iron Age hilltop castles for the Rhein-Hunsrück district - serves to preserve the archaeological substances, the preservation of which is in the public interest for scientific reasons. " the Germanic heartland on the right bank of the Rhine. Source: Text information board
