@article{Atzbach_Hansen_2020, title={Neue Forschungen zu Burg Brink in Ballum-Østerende, Kommune Tønder}, url={https://tidsskrift.dk/arkaeologi_i_Slesvig/article/view/118612}, abstractNote={<p>New archaeological research on Brink<br>Castle has enriched our knowledge about<br>this medieval site. Everyday life on “hovedgård<br>Brink” was already known from its<br>accountings written in 1388 / 89. The recent<br>excavations revealed this “gård” (farmstead)<br>being a heavily fortified castle with<br>solid curtain walls and a wide moat. Its<br>fortified inner area of about 60 × 45 m<br>nearly matches the size of the inner castles<br>of Vordingborg, Hammershus, Kalundborg,<br>or Nyborg and makes Brink to one<br>of the largest Danish castles. This size, its<br>exposed topography and its broad range<br>of finds dating back to the 13th century, resembles<br>an older, hypothetic royal castle<br>at Brink site that once was given to Ribe<br>bishopric. Further research is needed on<br>this site.</p>}, number={17}, journal={Arkæologi i Slesvig-Archäologie in Schleswig}, author={Atzbach, Rainer and Hansen, Philip H. W.
