Kriemhildenstuhl

The Kriemhildenstuhl lies left of the small river of the Isenach northwest of Bad Dürkheim at a height of 250 metres above sea level on the southeastern hillside of the 300-metre-high Kästenberg [1]. Archaeological excavations were carried out in 1884, 1893/94, 1916/17, 1934/35 and 1937–1939 [1]. Quarrying was undertaken using several working parties, so-called Arbeitsköpfe [1]. Individual Arbeitsköpfe were 25 metres above the next level below [1].
