The area indicates an early historical rampart. The fact that there was a burial mound nearby until 1933 speaks for Celtic settlement. No documents about the castle could be found; apparently it no longer existed around 1300. What you can see are two (?) moats.

From the former location of the castle you could previously see the movements on the two trade routes Cologne-Leipzig and Cologne-Frankfurt.
