Hillfort in Hesse. This is a hill fort of the La-Tène time. In the surrounding forests are some rests of ramps and earth walls. The hilltop was ruined in modern times, where it was completely rebuilt for an American radar station after world war II.
It is located just outside the Limes, which runs at the eastern foot of the hill.
There were only few archaeological actions taken in the past. Next to it there is another hillfort called "Brühlerberg". Both of them were probably same time and most likely two parts of the same community.
Today it is used as an recreational area and a big tower with a magnificent view was built on the hilltop.
