Description

This little village has a long history. It is presumed that the settlement already existed in Roman times, and that the present name was not introduced until later. That is suggested, at least, by the Roman wall, which is outside the village in the direction of Honsfeld. This earth wall lined with beech trees is said to be a remnant of a Roman army camp. There are documents from 1387 evidencing a family of the minor gentry by the name of von Holzheim, whose castle building probably stood here.
