The "Gereuther Tannen" landscape park was created in 1797 in the spirit of classicism and early romanticism. It was intended to reflect an "ideal nature" and also be "a human realm". The commissioner was Philip Ignatius Carl Reichsfreiherr von Greiffenclau, who lived in the castle of Gereuth. The park was also visited several times by the poet Friedrich Rückert. According to records, there was a small inn made of reeds and straw, a coffee house made of spruce trunks, a fireplace with a cellar "all around with many seats". The place described is easy to locate: the seats mentioned are the round sandstone blocks known today as "Rückersteine", and the cellar mentioned has also been preserved. The Rückert monument, erected in 1912, also stands here.
