 Exactly 1 km to the southwest of the village is the Schloss Alerheim, which crowns a hill.Mercy and Werth deployed their right wing on the Wennenberg, anchored their left wing on the "schloss" (castle) hill, and posted their center on the low ridge between the wings.In the 17th century, Alerheim was smaller and entirely to the northwest of the Imperial battleline between the Wennenberg and the "schloss".
