A humorous mythological story tells how God, when creating the world, also designed the Aisch Valley, which later became the home of Höchstadt an der Aisch. Even then, he made sure that the future inhabitants of Höchstadt would be able to brew beer and eat carp. But when he looked at his creation, he noticed that something was still missing – until an angel whispered to him that the people still needed a cellar hill. So God created it on a full moon night to complete his work.

The author then describes the beauty and significance of the Kellerberg for Höchstadt: it is inextricably linked to the town – a place of joy, conviviality and relaxation. The cellar houses with their cheerful names and the cool cellars where the beer rests bring people contentment and joie de vivre.
Baier reminds us that the people of Höchstadt owe this to both God and Bishop Johann Philipp von Bamberg-Würzburg, who granted them the right to brew beer in 1604. Finally, he praises the Kellerberg as an unspoilt, romantic place of relaxation and a symbol of local identity – a piece of living tradition in a hectic, modern world.

In summary, it can be said that
the Kellerberg is not only a scenic and economic asset for the people of Höchstadt, but also a divine gift, a place of community, joie de vivre and attachment to their homeland.
