The castle courtyard on the Kyffhäuser was originally the accommodation and supply base for the over 400 construction workers on the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial. Bruno Schmitz from Berlin, the architect of the Battle of the Nations Monument in Leipzig, was also commissioned to design the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial on the Kyffhäuser. The castle courtyard also originates from his plans: The ground floor is Romanesque in style, made of red sandstone, the upper floor in Scandinavian style, made of wood. The model was Kaiser Wilhelm's hunting lodge in Rominden (East Prussia). Since the opening of the Barbarossa Hall in 1892, guests of the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial have been entertained here in the castle courtyard. And it has been continually expanded. For this reason, the entire complex is listed as a historic monument in the Thuringian monument register. Source: https://www.burghof-kyf.de/ueber-uns/

Nice place for a hut and barbecue area, protected in a rocky arch.

In 1890, when construction of the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial began, the Burghof was built to supply the construction workers in the quarry directly below the construction site. It is modeled on the imperial hunting lodge in Rominden in East Prussia, which was designed in the Swiss style. The oldest hall, the Barbarossa Hall, was opened in 1892. From May 1, 1951, the Burghof was a convalescent home for the VVB Braunkohleverwaltung Meuselwitz, and from June 1954 it was the FDGB's "Glückauf" convalescent home. After reunification, the Burghof was privatized. In 2003, it was purchased by the current owners and extensively renovated. In April 2004, the beer garden and restaurant were reopened.

The barbecue hut is in the middle of the forest on a steep slope. Unfortunately it is locked, as are the windows. Probably private property. There is also a rest area where you can take a short break.

A special Hwn stamp is right in front of the restaurant

😎The attentive hiker who wanders through this interesting forest area will often come across boundary stones with serial numbers and the year 1735 engraved on them. They also show a lion walking on one side and a jumping horse on the other as heraldic animals. This also includes the well-known stone no. 100 at this striking crossroads between Steigerthal and Stempeda in the northern part of the Old Stolberg. Many a local friend will have wondered about the meaning of these boundary stones without finding an explanation. Those familiar with local history know that they are the border markers between the former electorates of Saxony and Hanover. The ownership situation changed several times after 1735. After the Congress of Vienna in 1815, Saxony had to cede its share to Prussia, and after the war of 1866, the Hanoverian part also became Prussian. Since then, the old border line has only had the significance of a district border between the provincial Saxon district of Sangerhausen and the district of Ilfeld. The district of Ilfeld originally emerged from the Hanoverian exclave Amt Hohnstein. It was later united with the provincial Saxon district of Grafschaft Hohenstein.

Here is a Touringen stamp box with the number 113. In 1735, stone 100 marked the border between the Electorates of Brunswick-Lüneburg (horse) and Saxony (lion).
