At the time of the great court hunts, during the reign of Prince Regent Luitpold (1886-1910), around ten wild boar were caught in the area around the cellar hut. Potatoes and corn were stored in the cellar. On the ground floor there was a large cauldron for boiling the potatoes, which could only be fed to the wild boar when cooked. Before the big hunts, the sows released for shooting were caught and, on the day of the hunt, driven in crates on horse-drawn carts to the so-called "bowling alley".
The "bowling alley" was a large round area, which was demarcated with spruce poles about one meter high. This was in the forest departments Brunft,
Freiberg and
at the Haselgraben.
Once the sows were in the bowling alley, there was no escape for them. If a shooter shot past, the wild boar came back along the wild fence and past the shooter after a short time.
This went on until the wild boar was killed.
The biggest boars were always driven to the Prince Regent.
