Description
Morphology
In a rock face of the Middle Buntsandstein, the Daneilshöhle forms three interconnected cavities that are protected. Holes for barrier beams and vertical walls indicate that the Daneilshöhle was enlarged by human hand.
Other details
The cavities evidently originated through washing out in the Tertiary or in the Ice Age, that is, they are of geological origin.
History
It is said to have served in the Middle Ages as a hermit's cell and in the early modern period possibly also as a shelter for highwaymen and robbers. In the criminal trial against Simon Bingelhelm of Halberstadt, who was called Tausendteufel and who was executed in June 1600 for murder and other deeds, it is named as the scene of the crime.
