History
The Bürgstadter Berg (hill) (see ) was inhabited as early as 3,200 BC by members of the Michelsberg culture. During the Urnfield period (ca. 1200 to 800 BC) a fortified settlement protected by a circular rampart was constructed on the hill. The ramparts stretched for a total length of 3.2 km, surrounding an area of ca. 40 hectares. Excavations found remains of a gate from around 900 BC. In 1181, Bürgstadt had its first documentary mention. Bürgstadt passed into Electoral Mainz's control early on.
Geography
