The Bommerlunder was probably distilled and sold here in earlier times. The memorial stone reminds of this.

Even if there is hardly anything to remind us of the famous schnapps Bommerlunder apart from a memorial stone, the alleged history of the origin of this popular "short" and the nearby old bridge over the Gejlå are worth a detour.
It is said that in 1760 a wounded French cavalry soldier ended up here. The innkeeper of the Bommerlunder Kro and his lovely daughters nursed the cavalry soldier back to health. In gratitude for the hospitality and care, the cavalry soldier left the innkeeper a recipe for a caraway schnapps (aquavit). So the tradition goes. We know that at some point in the late 20th century the Dethleffsen company in Flensburg became Germany's largest importer of pickled plums, so that the "Bommi mit Pflaume" business flourished =;-)
