Burgstein historie

Hrad Burgstein vznikl s nejvetsi pravdepodobnosti na prelomu 13. a 14. stoleti, kdy dochazelo k rozsahle kolonizaci krajiny
Hrad patril patrne k prvotni ochrane rabstejnskeho panstvi,ktere zasahovalo take na sumpersko a jehoz strediskem byl Frankstat, nynejsi Novy Malin.
Neni take vylouceno , ze predchudcem hradu Rabstejn, ktery postavil Hrabis ze Svabenic ( 1254 - 1296 ) byl prave tento hrad, ktery v nemeckem pomistnim nazvoslovi nesl priznacny nazev "Burgstein" -hradni kamen a k nemu vedouci cesta se nazyvala "Schlossweg"-zamecka cesta.
Lidova tradice dlouho udrzovala povest o propojeni tohoto hradku podzemni chodbou s hradem Rabstejnem.

Burgstein poloha

Hrad Burgstein se nachazi v nadmorske vysce 620m. Na vychode byl vyuzit k obrane skalnaty zlom. Na zapade hreben klesa svahem a proto jej bylo nutne zabezpecit prikopem a valem. Na severni casti byl val zdvojen. Petiboka plosina je 31m dlouha a 17m siroka. Za ni spada pritesana skalni stena do 9m sirokeho prikopu, jez vznikl upravou prirozene prurvy.
Prikop se staci kolem zapadni strany hradku, kde je velmi melky, nebot byl vytvoren pouze navrsenim nizkeho valu. Na severu val mohutni, je podelne odstupnovan a vymezuje rovnez 9m siroky prikop.
Neni zdaleka tak hluboky jako na jihu, protoze zrejme nevyuzili prirodni rozsedlinu a museli ho lamat do skaly.
Pred sirokou partii valu, ktery prehrazuje pristupovou siji, byl vyhlouben jeste dalsi prikop, jenz se vsak vytraci v zapadnim svahu.
Plocha obytoveho arealu neni proclenena stopami po zastavbe, ktera s velkou pravdepodobnosti nebyla zdena na maltu a vzhledem ke skalnatemu podlozi ani zahloubena.

Place on the left side Malin's ravine, where once stood the castle Burgstein.

Burgstein history

Burgstein castle was most likely built on the turn of the 13th and 14 century, when there was an extensive land colonization
The castle belonged probably to pre-screen Rabstejn's estate, which they extended to Sumpersko and whose center was Frankstat, now Novy Malin.
It is also not excluded that a precursor to the castle Rabstejn, which was built by the Hrabis from Svabenice (1254 - 1296) was just this castle in German local terminology bore distinctive name "Burgstein" -Stone castle and leading the way with him called "Schlossweg"- Castle's road.

In the west ridge of decreasing slope and therefore it was necessary to secure a moat and rampart. The northern part of the rampart doubled. Pentagonal platform is 31 meters long and 17 meters wide. After her fallout carved rock wall to 9m wide ditch weir was regularizing naturally gorge.
Trench is enough around the western side castle, which is very shallow, because he was created only run up low level wall. On the north wall thick, is longitudinally gradual and also defines nine meters wide ditch.
Not nearly as deep as in the south, probably because he did not use the natural chasm and had to break the rock.
Before the section wide wall, which divides access neck, another was excavated trench, who, however, vanishes in the west slope.
Residential surface area is not divided into tracks after house-building, which most likely was not masonry mortars due to the rocky ground was not sunk.
