The Glauberg has exerted a great attraction on people for many millennia.
The first farmers and cattle breeders settled on the 8-hectare plateau on the edge of the fertile Wetterau in the 5th millennium BC (Rössen culture) at the latest. As early as the 4th millennium BC (Michelsberg culture), the Glauberg was extensively and intensively populated, possibly already secured with a small rampart on the gently sloping north-eastern slope. The plateau was fortified for the first time in sections during the Late Bronze Age Urnfield Period in the 10th - 9th century BC. Outstanding artefacts such as bronze garment pins, knives, spearheads and a shoe-shaped pottery vessel testify to the importance of the settlement.
