    On Epiphany 1717, an unexplained death terrified the inhabitants of the Ostertal. Two men lost sight of each other on their way home from St. Wendel. Only one of the two arrived in Bubach. Supported by the surrounding villages, the Bubach people spent several days looking for the missing tanner. "On January 11th, his head was without any meat, but with his hair, on the dung heap of the Niederkirchen censor Adam Cullmann," wrote the Niederkirchen pastor in his diary. The tanner's body was found above the Tiefenbach valley. the devil broke his neck. Others testified that although he went to church diligently on Sundays, he was also a curse and had a proud spirit, so that his wealth rose to his head. And when he drank, there was no stopping. ”On January 12, the dead tanner was buried in the churchyard in Niederkirchen, but“ without any funeral ceremony and without ringing. ”Source: Text information board
