Reichenberg - Bistand (Bienstand)
Germany

The name Bistand has been falsified into Bienstand in the course of time. But it has nothing to do with a booth. The locals say "Impen" to the bees. If the word came from the bees, the mountain top would have to be called "Impenstand".

In reality, the word "Bi" comes from two or twice and the word "Stand" from lookout point, lookout pulpit.
Bistand means lookout point with a view on two sides. The local history researcher Maria Schöner interpreted the name around 1960 in such a way that it comes from the time when the ancient Celtic people roamed the forests of Bohemia and Bavaria. The Celts are considered to be the first settlers in the Northern Forest and in the Bohemian Forest. The bishopric could therefore have been a double guard point of the Celts.

Until the 2nd World War the bistand was not forested and actually offered a view to the south into the Grafenauer Land and to the north to the mountains Arber, Rachel, Lusen and over the entire Bavarian Forest National Park. In the meantime it is surrounded by a dense spruce forest and has not offered a view in recent decades.

In autumn 1999 the south side was cut down so that the Bistand summit is now a good and interesting vantage point again.

More About Germany

Germany? Before the beginning there was Ginnungagap, an empty space of nothingness, filled with pure creative power. (Sort of like the inside of my head.)And it ends with Ragnarok, the twilight of the Gods. In between is much fighting, betrayal and romance. Just as a good Godly story should be.Heroes have their own graveyard called Valhalla. Unfortunately we cannot show you a panorama of it at this time, nor of the lovely Valkyries who are its escort service.Hail Odin, wandering God wielding wisdom and wand! Hail Freya, hail Tyr, hail Thor!Odin made the many lakes and the fish in them. In his traverses across the lands he caused there to be the Mulheim Bridge in Cologne, as did he make the Mercury fountain, Mercury being of his nature.But it is to the mighty Thor that the Hammering Man gives service.Between the time of the Nordic old ones and that of modern Frankfort there may have been a T.Rex or two on the scene. At least some mastodons for sure came through for lunch, then fell into tar pits to become fossils for us to find.And there we must leave you, O my most pure and holy children.Text by Steve Smith.
