Tips

Harald Schramm (Schocker)

November 13, 2019

To the northwest, at a small distance from the court, a rock wall rises in the Saalthale, which is divided by a ravine in two halves and bears the name Teufelsberg. On the top of the rock there is a depression, which has striking resemblance to a depressed horse's hoof. From this rock tells the Widmann'sche chronicle: "What drove Satan for jokies and devils ages ago by the devil's mountain, where he, especially at night, the people led into the hall, or frightened by strange faces, is from his Closing the name by calling it Teufelsberg today. And in our days the evil enemy in unspeakably great shape was seen there, having one foot on the mountain of hell, and the other on the acorn-mountain-a quarter of an hour of it; of which one still sees a kick on the Teufelsberge as a landmark, also a depression, called the Teufels Schüssel, was found. The gap in the mountain was called hell. "
