Many assumptions are made about the origin and meaning of this mystical place and are still not sufficiently explained.
It is a circular wall made of hewn stones with a diameter of about nine meters.
On the one hand, due to the location, it could be a former Celtic observation tower from ancient times, on the other hand it is also assumed that it could be a historical barrow of a prince.
It is also assumed that from here the course of the sun was observed a long time ago in order to calculate the summer and winter solstices.

Stone Circle
The image shows a circular stone wall with a diameter of approximately nine meters in the "Lindengrund" forest area of Steinfeld. The stacked stones are hewn.The unusual shape of the structure, especially the fact that hewn stones are formed into a circle, is so unusual that no definitive conclusion has yet been reached regarding the wall's date.Source: Information board at the site
