Am Herrengärtchen 1
Photo: Tourist-Info VG Landstuhl

The Herrengärtchen is a viewpoint in the Landstuhl district of Melkerei, from which one can enjoy a wonderful view of the Landstuhl Moor lowland. In particular, airplane enthusiasts observe the takeoffs and landings at the nearby Ramstein military airfield from here.

The viewpoint "Am Herrengärtchen" and its access path was created in the 19th century when Landstuhl was a spa town. From the spa park, one could stroll there. Popular legend has it that around 1830, Heinrich Didier, owner of the postal agency, landowner, and entrepreneur, used a telescope from this location to monitor his workers during the gravel cultivation.
Decades later, the Hautevolé was still at home on the rock: the industrialist Karl-Ferdinand von Stumm-Halberg bought the "Herrengärtchen" in 1853 along with the Gienanth forests.
The viewpoint was the center of hunts and forest festivities, to which privileged guests from all over Germany were invited.
Thus, the history explains the origin of the name as told by popular legend.
