" Weckfresser "

From time immemorial the inhabitants of the core community " Eichenzeller Weckfresser " are mentioned. In the garden of Eichenzeller such a small castle " Weckfresser " is set in stone. Until 1785 Oak cell belonged to the parish Florenberg. On special feast days or at certain pilgrimages the Eichenzeller went to the Florenberg to church. Despite the long journey they were, much to the chagrin of the other pilgrims from the neighboring villages, Always the first. Until the others arrived on the mountain, the Eichenzeller usually had already bought all hard tags awakening. Since it was mostly on weekdays only the baked out weeks ahead of bread, the Festtagsweck was a popular diversion. Angry that the Eichenzeller had already bought everything, the neighboring communities designated them as Eichenzeller Weckfresser. This designation is left to them.
