An advanced work, advance-work or advanced outwork is a fortification or outwork in front of the main defensive building or castle. In the Middle Ages in the Holy Roman Empire, advanced works, known as Vorwerke (singular: Vorwerk), were commonly found in smaller villages that were located in front of the main castle. Within these advanced works often lived relatives of the knightly family whose ancestral seat was in the castle itself. As a result, the advanced works became manor houses and were known locally as schlosses. They were suitable for defending against minor attacks and offered the village population a degree of protection. In the case of major attacks they also acted as an early warning system for the castle. Because the advanced works were supposed to function autonomously, a l

  • Un fortí en arquitectura militar és una petita fortificació avançada que es solia construir al raval d'una ciutat, per tal de facilitar-ne la defensa. En temps de pau, la població, profitant la proximitat de la ciutat, solia assentar-s'hi, malgrat el risc que en temps de guerra, les forces armades solien incendiar o enderrocar qualsevol construcció que formava un obstacle i que podia servir d'amagatall a l'enemic.

In the case of major attacks they also acted as an early warning system for the castle. Because the advanced works were supposed to function autonomously, a link with agricultural estates was possible, such estates then became granges or vorwerkenden Gutshöfen. Later they also took over administrative tasks. Over the course of time these advanced works detached themselves from the castle and became independent estates. (en)
  • Ein Vorwerk ist eine wehrhafte Anlage, die der eigentlichen Burg vorgelagert war (auch Feldwerk genannt). Vorwerke befanden sich im Mittelalter in der Regel in kleineren Dörfern, die dem zentralen Sitz der Burg vorgelagert waren. In ihnen lebten oft auch Angehörige der jeweiligen ritterlichen Familie. Davon leitet sich ab, die Vorwerke als Rittersitze und im Volksmund als Schloss zu bezeichnen. Sie waren geeignet, kleinere Angriffe abzuwehren und boten der Bevölkerung des Dorfes Schutz. Sie dienten bei größeren Angriffen als Frühwarnsystem der Burg. Da die Vorwerke autonom funktionieren sollten, war eine Verbindung mit landwirtschaftlichen Gütern möglich, die dann zu (vorwerkenden) Gutshöfen wurden. Später übernahmen sie auch administrative Aufgaben. Vorwerke entwickelten sich im Laufe der Zeit auch von der Burg weg zu eigenständigen Anlagen. (de)
