Word meaning
The name of the mountain dung heap is related to the dung heap from agriculture, a collection of dung . In Vorarlberg, in neighboring Allgäu and in neighboring Switzerland and Liechtenstein , just a few decades ago , the dung was dumped in a square or rectangular shape in front of the farm and pulled upwards so that a more or less large cube was created. A beautifully built manure heap on a farm was literally “ the pride of every farmer ”. The mountain dung heap is similar in shape to such a beautifully built dung heap on a farm in earlier times.
