Best Hikes to Murrmirnichtviel Hunting Lodge Ruins

Tips

  • Presumably by Johann Friedrich von Leiningen (1661-1722), the tower - as well as only 600 meters away Leiningische hunting lodge Kehrdichannichts - to protect the border of the hunting area between Leiningen and the Palatinate first again and then also expanded into a baroque hunting lodge. It is a bit elevated on the southwest ridge of Dreispitz; so one could observe the Kurpfälzischen neighbors from the tower.
    However, a recent destruction or decay must have taken place soon, because as early as 1781, the hunting lodge and the watchtower were referred to in a Salbuch as a ruin Friedrichsburg. By 1793, when the French Revolution had also spread to the left bank of the German territories, the plant was finally burned down. On a map from 1797 the new name appears for the first time.
    In 1926, the walls were still five meters high. In 1963, the ruin was handed over from the custody of the former Royal Bavarian Forstareals to the state of Rhineland-Palatinate. In 1988/89, the remains of the wall, which consist only of parts of the outer wall with window extensions and the stump of the tower, were uncovered and secured.

  • "As early as Roman times, there is said to have been a roadside station on the site of the hunting lodge [Murrmirnichtviel]. A watchtower was first mentioned in documents in 1534. It was called a hermitage, a narrow dwelling. It was probably destroyed in the Thirty Years' War (1618 - 1648).
    Count Johann Friedrich von Leiningen (1661 - 1722) was probably the one who had the hunting lodge built in the Baroque style in order to secure the borders of his hunting grounds against the Electorate of the Palatinate. [...]
    The hunting lodge probably did not last long, because by 1781 the property was already described as a ruin. When the French Revolution spread to the Palatinate in 1793, the complex was burned down. [...] In 1988/1989 the complex was excavated and the remains secured."

  • The name Murrmirnichtviel is based on the hunting lodge Kehrdichannichts and was possibly formed by the vernacular. In view of the disputes between Leiningen and Electoral Palatinate around the borders of the hunting grounds "Murr me not much!" Was intended as a haunting warning and should mean as much as "submit without grumbling (in the prohibition to enter my hunting ground)!"
