The Kriemhildenstuhl (also Krimhildenstuhl) near Bad Dürkheim in Rhineland-Palatinate is a former Roman quarry from the late 2nd or early 3rd century AD. It is considered one of the best-preserved Roman quarries north of the Alps. Around 200 AD, the quarry was operated by legionaries of Legio XXII Primigenia, which was stationed in Mogontiacum (Mainz), about 60 km away. They quarried light-colored sandstone here, among other things for military representation and construction projects. Because filled-in debris covered the lower rock faces for centuries, numerous ancient processing marks, legionary inscriptions, troop signs, and rock drawings (e.g., horses, wheels, and phallic symbols) have been exceptionally well preserved. The name has no ancient origin. In the Middle Ages, the site was mistakenly associated with the Burgundians and the Nibelungenlied (Kriemhild). The Kriemhildenstuhl is located above Bad Dürkheim on the southeastern slope of the Kästenberg. Directly above it is the Heidenmauer, a huge Celtic ring wall from the Hallstatt period. Today, the area is protected as a cultural monument, is owned by the local Drachenfels-Club, and is a popular excursion destination with a view over the Rhine plain.
