Geography and traffic
The mountain, which is striking because of its shape and forest, lies like an inverted saucer with a diameter of about 1 km, in the middle of an otherwise intensely agricultural area about 1.5 km west of Frielendorf, immediately south of the Frielendorf district of Welcherod and immediately north of Todenhausen in the Frielendorfer hill country ( Natural area 343.12) on the north-western edge of the Knüllgebirge . Not far west of the Sendberg is the summit of the unwooded Appelsberg ( 294.8 m above sea level ).
The state road L3152 (Dillicher Strasse) from Frielendorf to Welcherod and Dillich leads past the mountain in the northeast, the district road K 53 from Frielendorf to Todenhausen and on to Neuenhain in the southwest. The federal road 254 runs in the course of the northernmost branch of the former road through the Langen Hessen between Frielendorf and the Sendberg from southwest to northeast.
From Welcherod a road leads to the mountain peak, from Todenhausen a drivable forest path.
There is a small menhir at the edge of the Welchrod forest .
history
On the Sendberg was the painting site of the medieval court on the Sendberg , first mentioned in a document in 1233 , which probably emerged from a central court of the same name . The canons of the Spieskappel monastery near Frielendorf and the Archbishops of Mainz also held broadcast courts on the mountain . The court was probably in the late 13th century under Landgrave Henry I of Hesse to Frielendorf or on the spit tower relocated and the Office Homberg subordinated where Wide Child wood home in 1273 as the first magistrate is attested. In the following it was sometimes referred to as the “Frielendorf Court”, the “ Spies Court ” or the “Spieskappel Court”.
