As is so often the case, the name hints at its origins: Here, in the middle of the forest, a shooting range was built around 1660 by order of the duke. From Bevern Castle, the Junkers, along with huntsmen, gamekeepers, and gamekeepers, often came out to test their marksmanship with muzzle-loading rifles and to hold shooting contests. A keg or two of beer was probably also involved. The first "shooting house" was built for storage purposes, but eventually fell victim to a fire, which was suspected of being the work of "free shooters" (poachers).
