On February 13, 1525, the famous farmer's leader Thomas Müntzer stood on the slope above the Werra and called out courage to around 1000 rebellious farmers from the Treffurt area. A memorial plaque was placed here during the GDR era. The inscription reads: "Peasant pulpit".
From here, Thomas Müntzer called on the Falken farmers to fight against the masters.
Spurred on by the farmer's leader, the angry farmers devastated monasteries and aristocratic residences in southern Eichsfeld as well as the Großburschla monastery during the Peasant War.
