The grove was planted around 1930, when its location was still within the German province of Pomerania. It is generally believed that some form of human tool or technique was used to make the trees growing this way, but the method and motive are still unknown.

So there was some space for speculations about witchcraft and energy fields in the obscure parts of the internet. Most probably the trees were cut down above the first side shoot, so this shoot became the new main trunk of the pines. But the specific purpose behind this technique is unknown since the former inhabitants of this area had to leave after WWII.
