The main castle of this family, the Saffenburg, was located in the Ahr Valley near Mayschoss. The Count of Saffenberg held the royal right of passage in his territories on the important trade route between Cologne and Flanders. This right of passage served to protect traders. For this right of passage, toll posts could be erected, where traders paid for protection and the use of the roads.
