The yew stock was placed under protection on June 26, 1935. It is the oldest nature reserve in the Rhön and one of the oldest in Thuringia. The forest manager at the time, Otto Staudt (1920–1936), had pushed this through. The strongest specimens have trunk circumferences of approx. 2.5 m. The Ibenwald can be hiked through on a circular route.
