history
In the 12th century, the Alt-Laubenberg Castle was built on the south-western side of the Laubenberg. The builder was the Lords of Laubenberg. In 1719 the castle burned down completely after a lightning strike and was no longer rebuilt.
In 1882 a lookout tower named Pavillon was built on the mountain . It was humorously called the Tower of Babylon by the locals . In 1932 it was replaced by a higher one. In 1946 the dilapidated tower was torn down again.
In 1965 a ski lift was opened on the north side of the Laubenberg , which was in operation until 1986.
At the beginning of the 20th century the mountain was still a grass mountain. Today it is mostly forested.
