Part 2: But he was probably one of the first to take an involuntary bath, and so the name "ox piano" slowly came into being, probably because the whole thing somehow reminds one of the black keys of a piano.

Part 1: The Pfrimm is a small river that rises in the Palatinate and flows into the Rhine near Worms. For several kilometers, it marks the southern border of Rheinhessen towards the Palatinate. On the way through Worms, the Pfrimm is lined with a park, which invites you to take long walks with its shady trees. One attraction is the "Ochsenklavier", a crossing of the Pfrimm over stone blocks. It was built when there were not yet so many bridges over the river. The citizens did not like it at first and the mayor who had it built said: "You would have to be an ox not to get across there with dry feet."

The ford got its humorous name because it was said that even an ox could cross it without falling into the water. In fact, it is so wide and stable that two people can comfortably pass side by side.
