Rammelfangen Castle
Highlight • Castle
After a fire in 1847 in the castle built by de Koeler in today's Weingartstraße, Ernst Dusartz de Vigneulles built the castle in today's Landstraße in the 1850s. It consists of a residential building and two farm buildings, grouped around the courtyard in a horseshoe shape. The finished lock was measured in September 1857. Ernst Dusartz de Vigneulles was the mayor of Rammelfangen from 1857 until his death on May 9th, 1871. His nephew Nikolaus inherited the entire property, sold the smaller estate in Mellich in the Eifel and moved with his wife and 3 children to Rammelfangen in 1873. In 1888 he was a member of the district council as a representative of the large landowners. He was able to destroy the castle and the farmyard due to several adverse circumstances such as the long, severe winter of 1891, food shortages due to drought in 1893 and a devastating storm on July 28, 1895 during the hail and rain on the Rammelfanger ban ¾ the harvest. In 1905 Adam Rupp from Oberlimberg bought the castle with part of the land and moved into this castle with the 7 orphans of his brother. After the Second World War, Rammelfangen was largely destroyed by the "reconstruction". People had to move closer together. In addition to the Rupp family, the castle provided a home for other families until their own houses were rebuilt from the rubble. After an extensive renovation in 2018 by the new owner, the castle appears again in new splendor. Source: Text information board

Forced labor and prisoner camp of the German Labor Front (DAF) in Gisingen
Highlight • Historical Site
After the victory in the French campaign, a forced labor/prisoner camp of the "German Labor Front" (DAF) was built in 1940/41 on the site of today's fairground and hiking parking lot. The camp consisted of four residential barracks, a barrack with sanitary facilities, and a large barrack containing the camp director's apartment, the kitchen, and a small hall. Film screenings were occasionally held in the hall, which the Gisingen residents who had returned from evacuation in 1941 were also allowed to attend. From 1942 to 1944, the camp director managed approximately 200 Poles, Italians, and French citizens from here, who worked as forced laborers during the day, clearing mines or helping farmers and craftsmen in the surrounding area. After Germany's surrender in May 1945, the camp barracks were used as emergency accommodation by approximately 20 Gisingen families returning from the "Reich" because they found their homes destroyed. After Gisingen was rebuilt in the 1950s, the barracks were demolished and still lie hidden in the earthworks surrounding the square. Upon closer inspection, the only visible remnant of the camp is an entrance hole to the cellar. Source: Wolfgang Kremer: "Gisingen - our village and its history"
