According to the latest document interpretation is in this Steden all probability, but around the present Kilianstädten.

In the neighborhood of Stedten before 1180 the castle Hohenberg, who located on the site of today's castle in Bad Homburg, could be demonstrated by excavations in 2006 (see related article on the history of Bad Homburg ) is created. The client is Wortwin of Hohenberch that appears in a document in 1180 as a witness, which is included in the Oculus Memoriae, the nomenclature of goods of the monastery Eberbach. Since Wortwin already leads the nickname " of Hohenberch ", the castle already must have existed at that time also. Only from the Eppstein'schen fief directory shows that Wortwin is identical with " Wortwin of Steden ". But it is not clear whether he came from Stedten and the castle Hohenberch built later or moved after selling his castle after Stedten. By 1200, Hohenberg is sold to Gottfried von Eppstein.
