A good-natured water spirit has always lived in the Nixentump near the Planwiese. His daughters, two mermaids, lived with him. On full moon nights they bleached their clothes and underwear on the Planwiese, danced and sang. They mingled with the peasant girls in the Lübauer Schänke, where the boys gladly asked them to dance. Some accompanied them to the pool, but could not go through it and see the damp palace.
