    Legend has it that a terrible crime took place there at the time of the Thirty Years' War in 1632. The Swedes had advanced into Dietramszell. They robbed, looted and pillaged. A father of the Augustinian Canons' Monastery had fled from the Swedes into the forest and hid there. But he was discovered by the enemy soldiers and cruelly tortured to death because he did not want to reveal where the monastery treasure was.

    The "Green Torture" is a wooden memorial column with three picture panels at the top, which are protected by a tin roof. An old Dietramszell view (before the fire of 1636) and a picture of St. Hubertus, the patron saint of hunters, can be seen on it. The column is said to have a greenish sheen, hence the name. In 1950 the wayside shrine was renewed.

    A less bloodthirsty version says that the "Green Torture" is a marking point on an important connecting route from Tegernsee via Reutberg to Dietramszell. It can also be seen as a border marking between the Reutberg Monastery and the Augustinian Canons' Monastery in Dietramszell.
