A very fine-grained layer is particularly sensitive to the ingress of water. When wet, this layer begins to flow. At the southwestern foot of the mountain, this layer can be seen very clearly in the so-called cliffs. There, large clods of the more firmly bound sandstone have slipped on this flowing layer over the past few decades.
Therefore, extensive security measures have been taken on the retaining walls in recent years. The walls are held in place by anchors sunk deep into the sandstone. This prevented further slipping for the time being. Extensive construction work is required for basic security.

Klopstock House, Quedlinburg

Highlight • Historical Site

The Klopstock House of the Quedlinburg Municipal Museums is the birthplace of the poet Friedrich Gottlieb Klopstock, one of the founders of classical German literature. At the time, he was read more often than his contemporaries Goethe and Schiller. Today, the Klopstock House contains a literature museum that provides information about Klopstock's life and work, as well as about other Quedlinburg personalities. The house is registered in the Quedlinburg register of monuments. A library and an archive are attached to the museum. Immediately to the east is the house Schlossberg 13, which is also a listed building. At the western end of the garden is the pavilion of the Klopstock House.

Finkenherd, Quedlinburg

Highlight • Historical Site

The legend of the Finkenherd Quedlinburg
During a bird-catching trip in the year 919, the Saxon Duke Henry learned in the area around the Finkenherd that he was to be elected the new German king. This old legend is what makes the Finkenherd houses so famous and attractive to tourists and travelers. Unfortunately, other places also claim the honor of naming this place, where Henry accepted his election as emperor, as a place steeped in history. Nevertheless, it is certain that Henry I is to be regarded as the founder of the city of Quedlinburg. Henry I was the first German king and founder of the later Holy Roman Empire. Henry's successor was his son Otto from his second marriage to Mathilde. It is also proven that Henry liked to stay at the castle there. However, this castle was most likely located in a different place than the current castle. The Finkenherd Quedlinburg was first mentioned in documents in 1678. It is also known that in 1588 there was a restaurant called “Finkenkrug” at exactly this spot.
