According to the saga, the Count of Dilsberg was hunting when a hostile army wanted to use the opportunity to conquer the defenseless castle and town. When the farmers in Dilsberg saw the army approaching, they got the idea for a somewhat unusual defense. They framers threw down bee hives from the town wall onto the attackers, who had to flee before the angry bees.
The "Little Bee Garden" (Bienengärtchen) located before the palace garden outside the town wall stands in memory of this saga.
