After the Schinderhannes gang was broken up at the beginning of the 19th century, many robbers came together here in the Odenwald and strengthened the Odenwald gang, which numbered around 150 members and was led by the "Hölzerlips". They committed many crimes in this area, initially it was only thefts But as time went by, the raids became more difficult. The area around Mülben was one of these hideaway areas, where the imposing rock house is also located. "Schinderhannes" himself is said to have lived in the cave at times. The surface cave made of sandstones has occurred in the meantime. From here, six gang members under "Hölzerlips" started at the end of April 1811 on a raid near Hemsbach on the Bergstraße. A stone with an inscription on the B3 commemorates this raid.
