Additional info/contents	Near Bad Staffelstein is the Staffelberg. This characteristic mountain, which provides natural protection on almost all sides, has been one of the preferred settlement sites in north-eastern Bavaria for more than 5 millennia. It's a wonderfully powerful place and when you're there at quiet times, Staffelberg reveals a mysterious mystical side. Around 200 B.C. Menosgada (town above the Main valley) was built. Over the years the Celtic city became a 49 hectare fortress, with a 2800 metre long protective wall, pitfalls and 3 gates. For the construction of the castle wall about 25,000 stones had to be broken and about 2000 trees had to be felled. Coin stamps show that money was also minted here. A coin from western Switzerland and another from Asia Minor illustrate the far-reaching trade relations of Menosgada. "Arrival of the Celts" The Celts, literally translated: the "brave", the "bold" who built Menosgada, defied the Roman Empire for many years. Roman authors often reduced the Celtic peoples to bloodthirsty barbarians who cultivated cruel sacrificial rites: "They cut off the heads of their fallen enemies and tie them to their horses' necks. They give the bloody armour to their servants and let them display it with cheers and victory songs. At home they then nail these decorations to the wall, just as if they had killed a game on the hunt." This is how the Greek historian Diodorus Siculus described the Celts in the first century BC. But the Roman empire became more and more powerful and so the legendary fortress Menosgada had to be abandoned around 50 B.C..
