Prehistory

Like the majority of the mountains of the Jura souabe, Lemberg is a " Flat-topped outlier " , remanent of a solid mass which eroded, emphasizing the harder matter tops.

Eighth century BC at fifth century BC (during the age of the Hallstatt), the mountain accommodated a settlement Celte. One still finds with his ridge the ruins of walls and tombs of an old fortress. Towards the east and the west, the top was embanked. Traces of Celtic activity can be found in the neighbouring mountains, as in all the area of Heuberg.

The name Lemberg comes from the Celtic Langue, in which Lem means Marais, or Bourbe. Its origin is probably the river Bära, which is born with the foot from the mountain. It is thought that in prehistoric times, its water flow was more important, making the surroundings marshy.
