The forester's house in Ottmannsreuth, built in 1848, has been called "Forest House Kamerun" since 1884. At that time, Fritz Brandt, Cosima Wagner's future son-in-law, was cycling out of the city with a friend from Bayreuth on a hot July day. In the forester's house, they were given refreshments by the forest ranger's wife. Back home, the friends reported that they had made a discovery like the African explorer Gustav Nachtigal had made on the Black Continent. Since all the newspapers were reporting on the raising of the German flag in the new Cameroon protected area, the two explorers called their forester's house "New Cameroon". It has kept this name to this day.
