    According to legend, the robber knight Eppelein had his castle in Trainmeusel (pronounced "Drameusel" ;-), from where he started his "ventures" with the Nuremberg traders and merchants. This was also his "refuge", especially after his violence, after he - trapped in Nuremberg - had jumped the Nuremberg castle wall with his miracle horse and was able to save himself here to his family with the last of his expensive horse. To this day, not even the smallest remains of a castle have been found here, but the Eppelein remained as a nocturnal ghost for the Trainmeusler for many years after its violent demise, as the story of (s) an enchanted house reports !?
