Duke Christoph of Württemberg announced his arrival in Hornberg in 1564. This should be received with a gun salute and all honors. When everything was ready, a large cloud of dust approached from the distance. Everyone cheered and the cannons roared loudly. But the cloud of dust turned out to be just a stagecoach. The same thing happened again when a grocer's cart and, a little later, a herd of cattle came towards the town. The lookout had given a false alarm each time, and all the gunpowder was gone when the Duke finally arrived. Some Hornbergers tried to imitate the thunder of cannons by roaring. Some reports also place the ducal visit at the end of the 17th century.[1]

This version is regularly performed in the summer on the open-air stage in Hornberg as a popular theater piece.
