Pimpernuß - Bladdernut
European Bladdernut - Staphylea pinnata, Colchis Bladdernut - Staphylea colchica etc.
The ripe fruits hardly open and hang for long on the tree.
When they are moved by the wind, the hard seeds in the inflated capsules cause a rattling noise.
In former times in German language this sound was called onomatopoetically pimpern (to rattle or to jingle).
Hence the name Pimpernuß with the meaning of rattling nut.
