Short description
The view point "Am Herrengärtchen" was opened in the 19th century, when Landstuhl was a spa town. It was possible to stroll there from the spa gardens. The vernacular tells that around 1830 Heinrich Didier, owner of the post office, landowner and entrepreneur, from here controlled his workers in cultivating the breaker with a telescope. Decades later, the Hautevolé on the rock was still at home: the industrialist Karl-Ferdinand von Stumm-Halberg bought in 1853 with the Gienanth groves also the "Herrengärtchen". The view point was the center of hunts and forest festivals, to which privileged guests from all over Germany were invited. The story thus explains the origin of the name by the vernacular.
