Tips

Harald Schramm (Schocker)

According to legend, at the end of the 19th century, the Ayingen village shepherd at the time, the "Much", sought shelter under an ancient, large beech tree with the sheep he had entrusted to him because of an approaching storm. This spot was popular because a spring rose there where people could cool off. For no apparent reason, all the sheep suddenly ran off in the same direction. The Much found them nearby in what was then a young forest. Minutes later, lightning struck the ancient beech tree and destroyed it completely. The Much would probably not have survived if he had stayed in the old location. Overwhelmed by the event, the Much knelt down and thanked God for his rescue. Afterwards he was changed, taciturn and thoughtful. Weeks later he was found dead in the spot where he had thanked God for his rescue, dressed in his Sunday best. What and how he died was never clarified.
