Summary from English Wikipedia (enwiki)

The Herzburg (also sometimes the Harzburg) was a castle near the county town of Altenkirchen (Westerwald) that stood on the long hill spur between Gieleroth, Widderstein, Ingelbach and Borod. Archaeological monuments and place names give clues to the earlier settlement. The River Wied flows around this hilltop which is strategically located between the old "Cologne-Frankfurt Road" (now the B 8) and the old Cologne-Leipzig road (now the B 414). The two routes are combined from Cologne to Altenkirchen and then branch out. The Cologne-Leipzig road is also called the Cologne High Military and Escort Road (Cölnische Hohe Heer- und Geleitstraße) from Cologne to Greifenstein/Herborn on the Lahn.

Summary from Deutsch / German Wikipedia (dewiki)

Die Herzburg (Harzburg) lag in der Nähe der Kreisstadt Altenkirchen (Westerwald) auf dem langgezogenen Bergsporn zwischen Gieleroth, Widderstein, Ingelbach und Borod. Bodendenkmäler und Flurnamen geben Hinweise auf die frühere Besiedlung. Diese Bergkuppe wird umflossen von der Wied und liegt strategisch günstig zwischen der alten „Köln-Frankfurter-Straße“ (heute Bundesstraße 8) und der alten Köln-Leipziger-Straße (heute Bundesstraße 414). Beide Straßen sind von Köln bis Altenkirchen identisch. Ab Altenkirchen verzweigen sie sich. Die Köln-Leipziger-Straße wird von Köln bis Greifenstein/Herborn an der Lahn auch Cölnische Hohe Heer- und Geleitstraße genannt.
