  • Notes 
    • “General Notes: In 1771, lease holder of the Geilweilerhof estate, not far from Muhlhofen, west of Landau, near Siebeldingen in the Palatinate. Here in 1525, during the Peasants' War, rebellious farmers of the area assembled and swore allegiance to the Bundschuh, at the so-called "Dagobert hedge". The Dagobert hedge was a very old thorn bush that had grown on a tall trunk into a crown shape, visible from far away. The "holy tree of Haingeraide" was said to grow and to bloom so long as there continued to be rights for the peasants of the Haingeraide. The hedge did survive the decrees of the French Revolution meant to equalize in justice, but only a few years later a thunderstorm with strong winds damaged it serverley. Today a newly-planted hedge grows where the holy tree once stood.” [2]
