    Tips

    March 9, 2025

    There are various legends surrounding the origins of the Osing Free Mark. For example, Empress Kunigunde, the wife of Emperor Henry II, is said to have once lost her way in the dense forests around Herbolzheim, Humprechtsau, Krautostheim and Rüdisbronn. When it got dark, she prayed to God and finally heard the evening bells from the four towns, so that she found her way again. In gratitude, she gave the forest to the four communities, who were to exchange their share every 10 years, however, so that good and bad yields from the soil were distributed fairly.

    Today, every two years a young woman from the Osing communities is chosen as Empress Kunigunde. She symbolizes the history of the Empress and is present at many events in the region.
