Duke Alexius Friedrich Christian of Anhalt had a triumphal arch made of oak wood built here and the oak trees planted to mark a jubilee celebration. For many decades, this place was a popular destination for the citizens of Ballenstedt. However, a permanent triumphal arch made of sandstone was never built.
