Hiking

The name is "Maibacher Kirchweg" and that's how it's entered in openstreetmap, which is apparently used as a base map for Komoot. It is assumed that a monastery already existed in Münster before the Reformation. When Landgrave Philipp changed his religion, his subjects also became Protestant and hence the name Philippseck with the former castle.

and the Philippseck pit

This Maibacher Kirchweg has apparently already been used in the times of the Celts & also by the Romans (from the Altkönig to Butzbach as a high road).

Hiking

The correct name is "Maibacher Kirchweg". In the Middle Ages, Maibach was part of the church in Münster, so it can be assumed that this route was used by the Maibach people to get to the church in Münster. The church in Maibach was built between 1764 and 1766 and was also supplied by Münster. Today's ev.-luth. Parish belongs to the parish of Münster.
