The Tafelberg castle site was a smaller motte castle in the Middle Ages on the southeastern outskirts of the town, which was probably built on a hill previously used as a cult site and is first indirectly mentioned in connection with noble ministerials of the Landgraves of Thuringia. In the 14th century, the castle came into the possession of the city of Erfurt and was used to secure trade routes, of which today only an approximately 20-meter-wide debris cone with a former moat remains, which is protected as a historical monument.

A crowning eagle, often a prominent feature of war memorials and monuments commemorating the victims of war and tyranny, has been immortalized in the anti-war song "Unger'm Adler" (Under the Eagle) by the mother of all Cologne-language music groups – the "Bläck Fööss": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zKjl50KrqC0

After a long stretch, we see Großmölsen on the horizon. Clouds gather, the air becomes increasingly oppressive, and we sit down to rest at the sports field, a mural next to us. The place was first mentioned in a document by Charlemagne in 775. Here's the entire tour from Stedten to Erfurt https://youtu.be/_ERx2iqHErU
