In 1999 Regina Zindler of Auerbach in Saxony took a dispute with her neighbor to Richterin Barbara Salesch, a court show on the channel Sat.1. It was about a snowberry bush, a Knallerbsenstrauch, at her Maschendrahtzaun, her wire-mesh fence. Her claim was dismissed.
Stefan Raab made a song out of her Saxon pronunciation of the word. Maschendrahtzaun spent six weeks at number one in the German charts. Fans besieged her property, stole parts of the fence and damaged her house. She moved to Berlin and returned to Saxony only years later.
