Excavations suggested that fortified residential complexes existed on the Christenberg as early as 420 BC. One found traces and indications that there was an entrance to one of the pre-Christian Celtic settlements on the Christenberg.

These are the remains of the main gate of the early medieval fortress (700 to 800 AD).
