The law is centuries old and used to be existential for the farmers: they were allowed to cut wood for their own use in the forest of their landlord. This right, which was passed down through generations, was to be declared invalid by the Bavarian state in the late 19th century and replaced by a new forest law. The decision was made over the heads of those affected.
The Fuchsmühl farmers did not want to accept this and vehemently resisted the new regulation. For years there was a legal tauzei with her landlord, the baron von Zoller. After the peasants had received their confirmation of their rights in the first instance, another court granted the will of the baron, who in 1892 prohibited the removal of wood from his forests. The costs of this long process became a financial fiasco for many woodworkers. On the other hand, von Zoller was extremely profitable in selling the wood that actually belonged to the farmers.
This arbitrariness of nobility led on October 29, 1894 to a general march of about 180 Fuchmühl men and women into the Schrammloher Wald to get their wooden property there. However, after neither the authorities nor the police were able to stop the farmers, a military action was carried out a day later. 50 infantrymen took up arms against the insurgents and put down the rebellion. Two older farmers were fatally hit by the bayonets, several people were seriously injured. More than 140 people were convicted of timber trespassing and trespassing. However, this led to an outcry in public across the country. After enormous turmoil in the Bavarian state parliament, politics had to give in to the pressure. The peasants were amnestied and finally got it right. Your law, which has been fought for in blood, is still valid today.
