The Dampfnudeltor is an original testimony to history. It commemorates an event in the Thirty Years' War. It is Freckenfeld's landmark and has been Freckenfeld's official coat of arms since 1938.

A Swedish cavalry squadron demanded a lot of money from the citizens, although the Swedes were Lutherans like the community citizens at the time, and threatened looting and murder. However, a delegation from Freckenfelder managed to mitigate the Swedish captain's demand that he and his soldiers be fed satisfactorily. Then he would spare the population. Master baker Johannes Muck then had his wife and the maid cook a large cauldron of sauce and gave the order to season this sauce with plenty of wine. He and his journeymen baked steamed noodles until every soldier was full, a total of 1286 pieces. The squadron accepted the dish that was served and spared the village from further blackmail or even destruction and murder.
