It lies in the Palatine Forest southwest of the county town of Bad Dürkheim in the German state of Rhineland-Palatinate.
They lie fairly high up on the southwestern ridge of the Dreispitz; and enabled good observation of the hunting activities of their neighbours from Electoral Palatinate.
They must have been either destroyed again or neglected, however, soon afterwards because by 1781 the hunting lodge and watchtower were recorded in a Salbuch as the "Friedrichsburg ruins".
By no later than 1793, when the French Revolution had enveloped the German regions west of the Rhine, the site was finally razed.
It may refer to the disputes between Leiningen and Electoral Palatinate over the boundaries of the hunting estates; Murr mir nicht viel!
