Utzenberg

The Utzenberg is a former Slavic castle mound on which a medieval, early German motte-and-bailey castle was built. It is located in Golßen, a town in the Dahme-Spreewald district in the state of Brandenburg. As an archaeological monument, the Utzenberg is listed in the monument register of the state of Brandenburg as a registered cultural monument.

The Utzenberg is located about 300 meters northwest of the city center and north of the federal highway 96. The rectangular motte originally covered an area of 120 m × 160 m with a superstructure three to five meters high, which was about 42 meters long and 33 meters wide. The hill was originally surrounded by a 15-meter wide moat. The construction of the B 96 in 1935 reduced the hill by 30 meters to 90 meters.
