The "Birg" in Schmelz-Limbach is one of the best researched fortifications in the Saarland, because in the 1970s and 1980s, nine excavation campaigns were carried out by the Saarland University's Institute for Pre- and Early History. The "Birg" was essentially a refuge in times of unrest and was used from the late Celtic period to the early Middle Ages.
