From a website called Your Daily German in a series of posts based on an Advent Calendar theme. Behind door 17 we get this history and explanation for a stollen.
der Stollen
Wow, what a name for a pastry. Stollen. Katchung. Sounds uber German. And it’s actually not only the name for a cake, it’s also what mining tunnels are called.
I have to give credit where credit is due to, u/eagle-eyes2020 who pointed out to me that stollen also means a mine which could be a reference to a d.u.m.b.
