There was once a sluice here. It was used to regulate the amount of water in the Siebenbrunner Bach. The "Schütz" (a wooden wall) required for this was "hung" on a device that resembled a gallows. The name "Galgenablass" refers to this hydraulic engineering facility and not, as is sometimes claimed, to the site of a former "place of execution".

Not a former "place of execution", but a gallows-like device for water regulation gave the place its name.
