World record flight by Robert Kronfeld
On May 15, 1929, Robert Kronfeld from Vienna took off successfully from Bergeshöveder Berg with his glider pilot "Rhöngeist" for the world's first glider flight over 100 km. His starting point was between the restaurant "Zum alten Fritz", which still exists today, and the canal bridge near the Hermannsweg . A monument erected by the Riesenbeck Heimatverein in 1991 reminds of this flying achievement.
