Prussian Mile Stone (1820)

Highlight • Monument

A sandstone obelisk from 1820 stands on the L214.

The Prussian Milestones were set up by Prussians in the 19th century to indicate distances.

The stones were created based on patterns from Berlin: an obelisk with a flattened top and two side benches made of basalt lava. Stamped on the street side are the distances between Mainz, Koblenz and Cologne in Prussian miles (1 mile = 7.532 km).

Karlsburg Ruins

Highlight • Castle

Carl Puricelli, a large industrialist and ironworks owner who owned the Rheinböller Hütte and the Stromberger Neuhütte in the Hunsrück around the middle of the 19th century, had this hunting and pleasure palace built in the historicizing neo-Gothic style of a medieval ruin. It should be reminiscent of an old knight's castle.

The castle complex probably once consisted of several buildings; Today only the square lookout tower of the castle is preserved, otherwise there are only crumbled walls. The tower has a height of eight to ten meters. In the tower there are still remains of stairs and the historic, crumbled wooden ceiling to the first floor. A few meters away are the remains of a wall and other remains of a tower.
The building complex is characterized by increasing tree vegetation, the ruins were last cut a long time ago. The path to the ruin is steep and also heavily overgrown, which makes access difficult. The ruin, as well as the way there, are no longer maintained these days, which means that the building is expected to continue to deteriorate.

For some time now, the ruins have been separated by fences and entry is no longer possible. The dilapidated building structure and the collapsed building remains make entering it life-threatening, so that not only the building but also its visitors must be protected.
