The chronicle tells us that 150 years ago a curious stranger asked the innkeeper Mähler what the "Ankumer Quitt" meant. This sly innkeeper asked the stranger to bring his ear a little closer to him so that he could understand the answer better and no one else could hear it. When the stranger complied with this request, he bit him on the ear. The light-hearted, mischievous and teasing spirit of the people of Ankum is made clear by the "Ankumer Quitt". Another chronicler reports that “Ankums Quitt” is a kind of cleverness of the people of Ankum that has become proverbial throughout the region. The Osnabrück poet, Pastor J.M. Seling, wrote in his song about the “Ankumsk Quitt” in the refrain:
Walk virtuously with a cheerful step,
Ankumsches Quitt is clever and wise.
