Lotterberg is a 305 m (1,001 ft) (NHN) high hill between the villages of Wolfershausen and Deute in Schwalm-Eder-Kreis, Hesse, Germany.

Time passes in Hessen, in Gutensberg, With hill-top and evening holds me up, Tiny observer of enormous world.

In 1921 the Hessische Landesamt für Bodendenkmal (Hessian county office for ground monuments) opened up a number of tumuli of Funnelbeaker culture age (c. 4300 BC–c.

In the archives of Marburg the 1694 cadastre for Wolfershausen and the related map of the village from 1688 does not show Amselhof, but it mentions that the oldest building of the guesthouse were built between 1694 and 1748.

The Amselhof was the setting for the book Das rote Haus – eine Erzählung aus Hessen (The red house — a story from Hesse), written in 1933 by Wilhelm Ide (born 18 February 1887 in Kassel; diede 18 July 1963 in Marburg).

The horses buried here, are not, as was thought for a long time, from the Isabellen - a harnessed team of six belonging to the last Hessian Prince-elector, Friedrich Wilhelm I.

In the first story, the two horses drew a carriage in which a hunter from Kassel often used to travel to his hunting ground in Amselwald on Lotterberg.

When the animals were old and could not pull the carriage anymore, the widow tried to give the horses to a farmer, who should put them up for stud.

Because her request was turned down, she gave a hunting guest, a Rittmeister, instructions to shoot the 12- and 13-year-old horses in Amselholz.

The throw went wrong and the stone landed in the field next to the Eder river, where it can still be seen today as the Riesenstein, close to Wolfershausen.
