Origin Of Wigs In Court

As mentioned in the introduction, I focused 1964-2001 again with Castle Sargans. In 1964 I helped Frank Knoll-Heitz at the excavation in the dungeon, and so did my first archaeological experience.

The Wall square, which has been considered since 1900 as a remnant of a previous building (Probst), 2005 was a re-examination, because part of the walls had collapsed. On behalf of the St. Gallen canton of Archaeology, Hermann Obrist of the IGA Zurich received the new findings and studies. It noted that the thin Südmäuerchen to the tower south wall is grown. Where the walls had collapsed, was behind a wall with joint front-line plaster revealed. Result of his investigations: "They have shown that the wall is square to be seen in connection with the construction of the keep, it could be explained by a technical installation. Thus, the thesis that the foursome was older than the tower, not be kept longer. "

And if the tower south wall at the bottom (below the Tuffquadermauerwerks) is older than the tower, and the three other sides of the same strength were like the south wall? This follows a plan that we as the Habsburg , the Müstair "Eginoturm» and many other buildings of the 12th Century challenge - and finally we meet in the upper floors of the keep Sarganser again. This would explain that is why the two thin little walls fold into the west wall inside. The low walls are so thin because it is an installation in a large rectangular building. If the wall square, an installation in a larger room was, one wonders, why was not simply a wall angle into set. Why the brick lining in the South? Because you need a support for a barrel vault?


The width of the north wall is not known, so far as it is obtained, it closes to the increased Rock on. Was it a space in which work with an open fire is (kitchen, with sink / window to the south?) Or a secure, unfriendly "rooms" with a narrow notch window?


for the new tower, the outside dimensions were taken of the previous building, but the west-north and south in good double thickness rebuilt. This is where the Tuffquadermauerwerk also lower than in the south. Presumably part of the old gable walls are included in the Tuffmauerwerk. The southeast corner was visible outside in 1969 to a height of 3.60 m as a break-stone walls and ramparts.

I think "so that the thesis that the fourfold over the tower was "to continue to maintain.
