    Eight seed and plant gardens were created, at least four of them in today's natural forest reserve or its immediate vicinity.

    Created by the district forester Gießer in Frankenhain from 1818-23. From 1821 the beds in the plant gardens were sown with maple, ash and spruce seeds. It is documented that 68,000 ash and 22,000 maple trunks were planted in 1823.

      And yet there are still a few things that are unclear about this place:

      Why do you have to build walls that are over 2m high for a "plant garden"?

      Why was an open space created that was leveled - when the other part of the "plant garden" is a sloping hill?

      And why are there 3 paths leading through this part to the stone bench?
