𝑹ö𝒎𝒊𝒔𝒄𝒉𝒆 𝑯ö𝒉𝒆𝒏𝒇𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒖𝒏𝒈 The extensive excavations that were carried out during the redesign of the Schaumberg plateau showed for the first time that the area was already being used intensively in Roman times. An extensive building with mighty walls in particular deserves attention. It proves that the square was already built on in the 3rd century AD. The foundation stone of the building took place in the 1st / 2nd Century AD. The oldest part is a wall at least 19m long and 1.1m thick made of hand blocks, which belonged to a 12m wide building, against which several vaulted cellars were placed shortly afterwards. A coin find shows that these cellars were torn down towards the end of the 3rd century AD and the building was reinforced by a row of arched walls. Very unusual and almost unknown from archaeological excavations, these arches do not open inwards but outwards. The building is interpreted as a high altitude sanctuary, which later became a fortification structure. Source: Text information board

Around 1200, the Counts of Bliesgau built the "Schauenburg", which was conquered by Franz von Sickingen in 1522 and which was totally destroyed in the Thirty Years' War.
