Then people came who wanted to till the ground. So the name of Lichtstadt came from the clearing of the forests, Eichfeld from the felling of the oaks, Schaale from stripping off the bark, and Keilhau from the hewing with axes. This simple tale of ancient times had sprung from the Thuringian soil, so rich in legends, and, little as it might satisfy the etymologist, it delighted me.
We had double instruction in confirmation, first with the village boys from the pastor of Eichfeld, and afterwards from Middendorf at the institute. Unfortunately, I have entirely forgotten what the Eichfeld clergyman taught us, but Middendorf's lessons made all the deeper impression. He led us through life to God and the Saviour, and thence back again to life.
Of course, our mother came to attend our confirmation, which first took place with the peasant boys who all wore sprigs of lavender in their button-holes in the village church at Eichfeld, and then, with Middendorf officiating, in the hall of the institute at Keilhau.
While speaking, he pointed up the stream and briefly described its course. We assented. We had passed the village of Schaale. The one before us, with the church, was called Eichfeld, and at our right was another which we could not see, Lichtstadt. In ancient times, he told us, the mountain sides and the bottom of the whole valley had been clothed with dense oak forests.
