This is the eastern part of the Heidenmauer on Mount Odile. The most recent studies of the so-called Heidenmauer were published in 2003. Dendrochronological investigations using the C14 method of the rediscovered oak clamps, with which the stones of the wall were connected, date these clamps without a doubt to the last quarter of the 7th or the beginning of the 8th century AD. They may come from a repair phase, because one The late development of the entire complex had not previously been seriously considered.
