    The more than 200-year-old fir trees owe their name to the French Emperor Napoleon. According to a legend, they are said to have offered his army protection during a thunderstorm, but the size of the trees may not have been sufficient for this. The variant handed down by the forestry officer Werner Dünzen sounds more likely: According to this, lance shafts for the Napoleonic army were made from the young silver fir trees. The remaining trees were declared natural monuments in the 1970s and are called Napoleon firs.
