Force places and cult places in  RHINE COUNTRY PFALZ in GERMANY

Thunder mountain:
celtic square-digs
originally the name “Donarsberg” applied only to the upper northern massif, the southern collections was called Guddesberg (=Wotansberg). The Frankish name Thoneresberg (occupied starting from 869 n.Chr) is probably copied from the celtic “mountain of the Taranis” or the celtic “dunum”, the “mountain of the mountains”.


Skin:
Holy Mountain
One whispers that here still “robbery graves” try their luck. On the “castle head” 3 handling temples were discovered - under two of it buildings of predecessors made of wood were opened - and in the center of a temple the cult picture of the God Silvanus, the guardian of the animals and the forest.
Handling for the Prozession around the cult picture in the Cella was 2 m broad and by columns limited. Otherwise with large Heiligtümern usual everyday buildings such as lodgings, dwellings, etc. was not found. It is assumed that the cult place to an older mountain cultties, as Heiligtümer behind partially powerful before-historical section barriers were discovered: Castle head with Sülm (circle Bitburg Prüm), red head with Hinzenburg (circle Trier Saarburg), Bainter head with cell, Burglei with Weiler (both circle Cochem cell), Druidenstein with castles (circle Mayen Koblenz).

Boiling fount with hedge cathedral
Holy Spring
Boiling fount is and a stinking source of sulfur bubbling this very day. A holy Center for Visitors and a holy place of our ancestors. The holy or welfare-ends water under prayers and ritual cult actions for drinking and bath cures was used. In the today's close hardwood forest a typical gallorömisches Quellheiligtum with 3 temples and a theatre for ritual plays lies. For the pilgrims there were east the holy district lodgings, baths and a welfare hot spring with a 50qm, circumscribed by a wall, large heated basins. In the bath Terrakotta fragments were found by Muttergöttinnen.

High-separate:
Holy Spring
Similarly as in hedge cathedrals it saw in the holy Center for visitors of high-separates out. In nearly a handling temple squarely put on the source of the ouple brook from the earth stepped.
The holy source became northwest in the course 2. Jhdt. n.Chr. lodgings and public baths built. Terrakotten of nut/mother divinities were Weihegaben.

Heath fount with Trier:
Source of welfare:
The water is used (this very day) for the healing of the eyes. The source, which from rock of the heath head flows, flowed through that far Heiligtum of the Xulsigiae and the Lenus Mars, - health and healing giving - the main God of the Treverer lying down.

Child brook:
Holy Spring heath rock
Welfare water - in particular for the eyes: Sisters of the catholic orphanage in land chair are to have healed the eyes of children with it from binding skin inflammations.
Admiration of the source already of the 1. Jhdt. v. Chr. on. Finds of a pottery from that 3. Jhdt. enclosed.
In both “heath rock” above the source reliefs are in in accordance with ice ELT, which represent celtic Fruchtbarkeitsgöttinnen and gallische priests before the victim altar.

Central yard:
Energy double pyramid

Möhn:
Holy Spring
In a district surrounded by wall there was to temple, source and a theatre for cult plays as in other treverischen holy Places. Under the Roman handling temple an ash altar was discovered. As Weihegaben remarkably many Schmuckstücke and coins were found, in addition Tonfiguren of Göttinnen and a dwarfful Kobold with hood. Probably at this place the cult outlasted already earlytemporal meaning and the prohibition of the heidnischen God admiration.

Blackground:
Mithrascult - holy Place in the cult cave:
In the back wall of the former cave the  relief of a bull-killing light God is received! Altars, fire and water were distributed according to prescribed cult order in the area before the picture. A entree locked the central cult area of the rock cave outward. The floor sanctify around was appropriate for 4 m more highly than the meadow with a small from sea-roses covered artificial lake today.


Cotton wool home (proximity of Kaiserslautern):
The small stone circle is called in the vernacular “fly stones”. The still 11 existing stones measure an extent of approx. 10 meters of diameters. A celtic cult place may be assumed here. In the proximity are still celtic prince graves, what strengthens this assumption only. It is reported that with longer stay inside the circle a feeling of “swindles and a tranceähnlichen condition” adjusts itself.
