    In 1854 the first faith baptism of the "Anabaptists" took place here. This means that people were only baptized who consciously accepted Jesus as their Savior in their faith. Since it was strictly forbidden by the official church, people baptized in secret. And then the human should be completely submerged, one needed a lot of water. So this place in the forest was prepared as a baptismal font.
