One name has remained
Juniper - a rare shrub that unfortunately no longer exists here. It needs an exposed location in full sun to thrive. Hardly any other tree species is as drought-resistant as the juniper.
"Dem blannen Theis sain Haischen"
The little house of the "blannen Theis" (blind Theis) was located on the slope of the Wakelterberg. The "blannen Theis" alias Mathias Schou (1747-1824) was a traveling singer who stayed here when he returned to his hometown Grevenmacher. Only a crack in the rock of his former home is visible today. The "blannen Theis" was so well known during his lifetime that he was not forgotten even after his death. Popular saying goes that even after his death he occasionally wandered around with his guide dog.
"The bunker on the Ohner Këpp"
During the Second World War, three men from Wormeldingen found shelter in the forest on a slope: Leo Fischer, André Schumacher and Roger Thill. Since their hiding places were no longer safe with Wormelding families, they fled to the forest opposite the Palmberg on August 20, 1944. They dug a bunker, for which, among other things, they had to bring the necessary wood over a distance of 4 km. The bunker was covered with corrugated iron and camouflaged with soil, moss and pine cones. The front was getting closer and closer and the bunker came into the line of fire of the German and American artillery. On the night of September 17-18, 1944, the three men snuck up to the Americans. This was her salvation, because the next day Wormeldingen was evacuated and many residents were deported to Germany.
