<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Fid, post: 412133, member: 7724&quot;]the first one has nothing to do with the Black Forest. originally named a Gesteckpfeife - &quot;stecken&quot; means &quot;to stick (together)&quot; - and in use all over Germany. especially used by hunters, mountaineers and soldiers because it took little place when disassembled. the stem was hazelnut because easily available everywhere and easily hollowed out by hitting the stick against a hard surface to loosen the core.</p><p>a special variation is the Reservistenpfeife where there is an additional hose so that its bowl could be placed on the ground for easier relaxing and beer-drinking.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
