Milseburg

Milseburg, an extinct volcano in the Rhön Mountains of Germany, is archaeologically significant for its large Celtic oppidum. The site features a prominent hill fort with extensive ramparts and traces of a settlement dating from the Late Bronze Age through the Early and Middle Iron Ages. This oppidum was a nexus of Celtic and Germanic cultural interaction, evidenced by artifacts from both the Urnfield and Corded Ware cultures. The hill fort includes well-preserved defensive features and habitation structures, such as circular living pods. Additionally, the site holds religious significance, with a chapel dedicated to St. Gangulphus and a group of statues depicting a Crucifixion scene, reflecting its continued spiritual importance through the ages.
