Weinheim Heath Rye- The Rye Baker

Has anyone tried the Weinheim Heath Rye/Weinheimer Heidebrot from The Rye Baker? There are so many discussions of mistakes, I wonder if it's meant to be hearth rather than heath?
I double-checked the figures, seems ok, just curious about anyone else's results. I just started this dough myself.

Cross check it with Ploetzblog. https://www.ploetzblog.de/2013/11/02/weinheimer-heidebrot/

I think the heath is correct. I think it means heath as in scrub or moorland.

I'm sure a German bread expert will be able to give us the proper derivation!

They're identical formulas. 
You're right about heath, silly of me not to investigate that first.
