De Aalversupers

Fockbeks saga is about eel soup ( Low German for eel drowning or eel drowning ). According to the story, the villagers wanted to breed herring in Fockbeker See , for which they poured salted herring into the lake that they had bought at the Rendsburg market . When they drained the lake water the following year to reap the fruits of their efforts, they could not find a single herring, only an eel lolling in the mud. The Fockbeker concluded that this eel had eaten all the herrings. In the course of the deliberations about the cruelest possible punishment for the “culprit”, a villager who almost drowned once, pleaded for drowning the eel (Low German: to piss ). No sooner said than done: as soon as the lake was filled again, the eel was thrown into the water at the deepest point. As he writhed in the water, the Fockbeker commented: “Look how he torments himself!” And “He's drowning! He is drowning!"; in Low German: “Hey versupt! Hey versupt! ”, Hence“ De Aalversuper ”. To remember the spot where they drowned the eel, they made a notch on the appropriate side of the boat.

This mockery story is said to have been invented by the residents of the neighboring town of Rendsburg and was intended to reflect the simplicity of the residents of the neighboring western village. Ultimately, disputes over fishing rights were the cause.
