rundling

Over 100 villages in the area still preserve the characteristic appearance of a Rundling.

This occasionally leads to an elongated village with the old Rundling at the end.

Its name is derived from the Old High German "Tründel", the name for the round shaped type of settlement that is called Rundling.

A Rundling is a primitive form of circular village, mainly in Germany, typical of settlements in the Germanic-Slav contact zone in the Early Medieval period.
