    the following text is taken from the labeling board:
    "Legend has it that a farmer from Dormitz had met the devil here." The original devil's oak, a distinctive tree, had to be felled in 1965 for reasons of traffic safety. "

    According to legend, a farmer who came from Dormitz met the devil here. The original oak (it was probably a very prominent tree) had to be felled in 1965 for traffic safety reasons. The sign, however, commemorates the alleged meeting place with the devil.
