The name is based on the location on the trail of the pilgrims who have migrated from the Rhineland to Rome. Until the 19th century this way was also used by raftsmen and boatmen to cut off the Rhine knee.
The location was mentioned in 1330 with the name "by sant martins borne". The location got its name from the possession of the parish church in Siefersheim at a St. Martin's Patronal Feast.
The location was mentioned in 1523 with the name "am goldtberg". The designation of a hallway with this name rarely indicates the precious metal, but rather is an expression of general appreciation.
