Black man wooden stature.
The person of the black man goes back to the charcoal burners, which there were too many in the Schneifel. In the past, a lot of charcoal was produced because the Schneifel was a huge beech forest.

The name Black Man has nothing to do with the children's frightening figure The Black Man, but with the black faces of the miners when mining lead ore in the mines of Bleialf. The summit used to be called "Kerschgeroth", which probably derives from the clearing of the heavily forested area. (Source: Wikipedia)
