According to an anectode from rlp-tourismus.com/de/infosystem/infosystem/Peters-Heisje_Westhofen/infosystem.html:
Around 1950 there was a carpenter by the name of Dieter Fuchs, who also worked as a Wingertschütz that fall. At that time, muzzle-loading pistols were still in use. He had it, as they said, "fisted behind the ears". So he asked the little Peter buyer, then around 7 years old, if he didn't even want to scare his father. Since it was warm that day, Peter had short He took the pistol and carried it barrel down, slightly concealed on the right side, but before he could startle his father, a shot went off and little Peter shot himself in the right calf! ran away, because his father was not allowed to notice, but then the community nurse Sophie had to be fetched in the evening. The result was a treatment with clay and a strong lecture.

View from Kloppberg
Highlight • Viewpoint
Restaurants on the Kloppberg: the Weinkastell (upscale) and the Turmlokal (rustic) (stoeckbauers-weinkastell.de/).
A special feature of the geology of the Kloppberg are the bog iron ore deposits. Dinotheria sands and bog iron clays are found on this plateau, lying on limestone. From around 1820 to 1870, significant quantities of iron ore were open-cast here, washed in ore washes, and transported for further processing to the smelting works in Eisenberg, Hochstein, and Trippstadt.
