The cherry orchard is a former cultivated area that every resident of Treffurt was required to manage. Today, things are handled somewhat differently: since 2014, the town has given each newlywed couple a cherry tree and planted this orchard.

Treffurt's Cherry Orchard
The fact that fruit growing became established in Treffurt is likely due to the favorable geological and climatic conditions. Approximately 25,000 fruit trees once stood within the boundaries of this town on the Werra River.
As early as 1788, it was decreed "that every newly arrived resident and every young husband had to plant six grafted fruit trees, and every resident had to plant two trees annually." After the "Knipser," a thin-fleshed wild cherry variety, the Spanish sweet cherry was introduced around 1830.
