This gray, age-old ruin is called "Mauerschädel," meaning "uninhabitable ruin." The people's imagination has always been preoccupied with this ruin, and in 1891, the blind legend collector Chr. Ludwig Wucke recorded the following legend: Filke was once a large town, stretching from Oberfilke to the now-vanished old St. Peter's Church and the village of Willmars. It was crossed by three streams and had over 300 bakers and the first Christian church in the area. The bishop baptized the pagans there. Its remains form the "Mauerschädel." Indeed, the legend is supported by the fact that a large number of now-vanished settlements once existed in the area around Filke. The ruin lies directly on the border between Thuringia and Bavaria.
