legend

According to a legend, the name of the source goes back to the community shepherd Oll Heinrich . Oll Heinrich was after that in the time of the Thirty Years War the community shepherd of Westerhüsens. Since he hid the remaining cattle of the village in the difficult to reach and overlooked Frohser Mountains in case of danger, he knew his way around this area well. After the end of the war, many old field boundaries were no longer recognizable and were disputed. This also affected the demarcation of two pastures in the area of ​​the Frohser Berg. As a long-time local expert, Oll Heinrich was invited by the court to come to the site. Maglin, one of the farmers affected, bribed Oll Heinrich with a bottle of schnapps and a taler to tell him that the border ran a hundred paces behind the spring. Oll Heinrich stuffed the floor of the bribing farmer in his shoes, ran a hundred paces away from the spring at the court commission's visit and swore that he was still standing on the floor of the farmer in question. While he was about to take the false oath, a voice is said to have called out to him from the bottom of the spring: “Oll Heinrich, kumm, kumm, kumm here, here. Here is the divorce. ”He was later found an alcoholic and finally dead on the Spring. His soul is said to have found no rest. For a long time now Spring is said to have called out loudly: "Oll Heinrich, kumm, kumm come here !!"
