Cherry cultivation in Kalchreuth has a long tradition: In the mid-19th century, there were approximately 100 cherry orchards surrounding the village, hence the later nickname "Cherry Village." In many orchards, small "cherry houses" (Kerschderhaisla) were built as temporary shelter for the freshly picked fruit, but also for the cherry pickers. These people used to spend the entire day in the cherry orchard, finding a bench there to eat, drink, or rest from their strenuous work.
