According to an old Sorbian legend, seven kings are said to have conferred here on seven stone blocks on the "Lubin" when the Germans invaded the land of the Sorbs. The fight that followed was very bloody. The battle was lost for the Sorbs, and all seven kings lost their lives. They were buried on the mountain together with their crowns and seven blocks were rolled on their graves, which the Germans interpreted as a throne. Similar to the Kyffhauser legend, they should now wait under the mountain for the day when their people will call them to help.
