On July 8, 1948, a tragic accident occurred at Steinkopf: an American candy bomber en route to Berlin crashed shortly after takeoff in Wiesbaden-Erbenheim on the south side of the 570-meter-high mountain. The focus of the tour is the connection between this local event and important turning points in German postwar history: the Berlin Blockade, the Berlin Airlift, and the currency reform.
