The Rotary Club has done a lot to restore, preserve, and describe this place. It was here that the palisades on the Odenwald Limes were found for the first time. Almost 2,000 year old pieces of wood were found in the ground. The structure of the tree rings can be used to classify such remains in terms of time. This is called dendrochronology.
