As Mahlstatt or Malstätte , also Malberg ( Old High German Mâlberg ), the Germanic people , especially the Franks , referred to the meeting place of a court on a hill.

At least since the year 568, when King Guntram of Burgundy called a Malberg to settle disputes between his brothers Chilperich I of Neustria and Sigibert I of Austrasia , such court hearings have also taken place in closed rooms.
