At that time the monastery White Castle had own country ( " Salland " ), the Church together with the associated tithe and 14 servant yards, but 10 of them lay fallow (probably due to the invasions of the Hungarians, who ravaged the beginning of the 10th century, large parts of south-west Germany ).

The solar model has its location as the starting point of the planet path, on the lawn in front of the town hall of Durmersheim. At the chosen scale, the sun has a diameter of 1.4 meters. The earth model then has a diameter of 13 mm and is 150 meters from the sun model. As a support system for the planet models are gabions, which are arranged in the scale distance from the Sun. The models of the voiced ( dwarf ) planet Pluto and Eris are then removed beeline standard 6 to 10 km from the sun model and are in Mothern on the other side of de Rhine. This Alsatian location of the Planet was even " European" and connected to the Pamina -Rhine Park trail system and therefore it is also called " PAMINA Planet ". From the Sun to Saturn model, it is a short walk, to Uranus or Pluto there are hikes of about 7 km easier path length.
