 This land was centered on a ruined (supposedly Roman) fort by the Old High German name of "Lucilinburhuc" (commonly translated as "little castle").In the following years, Count Siegfried had a new castle built on the site of these ruins, on a rock that would later be called "Bock Fiels".This castle dominated a stretch of the old Roman road linking Reims, Arlon, and Trier, and opened some prospects for trade and taxation.
