One of the scientific aims of the Heisenberg scholarship of the applicant is the investigation of the moat and bailey castles known in large parts of Europe. The aim of the current research grant is to extend the very limited research base by archaeological field investigations concerning the chronology, the construction, building structure and the function of these fortifications. The project brings the eastward direction of the spatial expansion of the motte and bailey castle into focus: in the regions on the rivers Elbe and Oder (between Old March and Lower Silesia). Thus, the project solves a considerable desideratum of the medieval castle research. During the two years of the closing project important and interesting results on the motte and bailey castles were produced, by excavations and other research in eight such strongholds. The aim of this proposal is the extension of this research grant for one more year.In the third project year, the results shall be worked out finally. The aim is the integration of the many results of the research in one large monograph, discussing the archaeology, history and cultural meaning of the motte and bailey castle phenomenon in the work area and its relations to the high and late-medieval fortifications in Central Europe. Moreover, there shall be carried out limited fieldwork at four castles in the western areas of research, Old March and Prignitz. This shall perfect the results of the project. The four fortifications will be investigated by historical methods, by surface and geophysical surveys, researched and explored by limited excavations to ascertain the exact date, to illuminate the construction of the hill, the design and quality of buildings as well as to learn about dating, use, social, military and symbolic meaning of the castle, its builder and his economic situation. The choice of the fortifications enables us to light up aspects of motte and bailey castles which are understood not satisfying up to now: The research program intends the investigation of a moat on a natural hill, of two outer baileys and of a presumably magnate's castle hill with early cobblestone and brick building.

申请人海森堡奖学金的科学目的之一是对欧洲大部分地区众所周知的护城河和贝利城堡的调查。目前的研究补助金的目的是通过有关年代学，建筑，建筑结构和这些防御工事的功能来扩展非常有限的研究基础。该项目将Motte和Bailey Castle的空间扩张的向东方向成为焦点：在Elbe和Oder河上的地区（在旧三月和下西里西亚之间）。因此，该项目解决了中世纪城堡研究的相当大的逃亡者。在闭幕项目的两年中，通过八个这样的据点的发掘和其他研究产生了关于莫特和贝利城堡的重要成果。该提案的目的是将该研究补助金的延长延长一年。在第三个项目年中，结果应最终解决。目的是将研究的许多结果整合到一个大专着中，讨论了莫特和贝利城堡现象的考古，历史和文化含义，及其与中欧高中和晚期的工厂的关系。此外，在西部研究区，旧游行和普里尼茨的四个城堡中，应进行有限的实地考察。这将完善项目的结果。这四个防御工事将通过历史方法，表面和地球物理调查进行研究，并通过有限的发掘来进行研究和探索，以确定确切的日期，以阐明山丘的建设，建筑物的设计和质量以及了解约会，了解约会，有关约会，有关约会，城堡，建造者及其经济状况的使用，社会，军事和象征意义。防御工事的选择使我们能够点燃莫特和贝利城堡的各个方面，这些城堡迄今尚不满足：研究计划旨在调查自然山上的护城河，两个外部的贝莱斯和一个可能是大亨的城堡山带有早期的鹅卵石和砖砌建筑。
