The hut bears the name of Walter Böckel, who was chairman of NABU Obereschbach from 1987 until his death in 1991. The farmer was vehemently committed to nature and environmental protection. The small biotopes that were created under his responsibility are still today a retreat for many species of birds and field animals.
