Do you actually know field terraces, trace bundles or pile slabs and would you recognize them? Many such traces, also known as historical cultural landscape elements, can still be discovered along the Rothaarsteig. They tell us about how previous generations dealt with nature and the landscape and provide an insight into former social conditions and technologies. Together with the natural structures of the landscape, they contribute significantly to the special character and uniqueness of a landscape and provide a habitat for many endangered animals and plants. We invite you on a journey in the footsteps of our ancestors from times long past. The churchyard lies in the middle of a former medieval rampart, which has a triangular basic shape. One of the three castle gates has been reconstructed. The oldest ramparts probably date back to the time around the birth of Christ, when Germanic tribes defended themselves against the Celts advancing from the north. Excavations on the Borberg also uncovered the foundation wall of a church from the 13th/14th century. Today, the Borberg Chapel, which was built in 1925 in honor of Mary, Queen of Peace, is located at the highest point of the square.
