"At Ritterstein, an important traffic route used to run through the Palatinate Forest. Traders and travelers used to have to use the important elevated road. Deviating from it and using other routes was forbidden. Bypasses were therefore dug up to prevent possible evasion of customs. A turnpike as Traffic barriers marked the boundaries of the government or city where road tolls, customs or sometimes escort money had to be paid (Eitelmann, pp. 135-136)."
