 Because of the association of Eichtersheim and Michelfeld with Friedrich Hecker popular committees quickly formed and had great resonance with the population at large.The popular committee in Eichtersheim included 126 members, while in Michelfeld there were 87.This in view of the fact that Eichtersheim had at that time only about 150 families (in a population of 750), one can say that the entire village embraced the revolution.
