Discover the story of the song > Herr von Ribbeck auf Ribbeck im Havelland – Achim Reichel

This song is about a man named Herr von Ribbeck who had a pear tree in his garden. Every autumn, when the pears were ripe and shiny, he would fill his pockets and give them to children who passed by. Before he died, he asked for a pear to be put in his grave. Years later, a new pear tree grew from his grave, and it still gives pears to the children who visit.
