    The legend of the Marienbrunnen on the castle hill
    It was a hot day in the summer of 1441. A shepherd was grazing his flock on the lonely mountain top of the castle hill. Because his eyes ached, he lay down in the shade of a mighty beech tree and sank into slumber. Then he had a lovely dream. He saw an angel from heaven ... floating down. He went to a fork in the beech tree and, behold, there he drew water. With this he moistened the shepherd's sick eyelids so that they healed immediately. And to the shepherd the messenger of God said: “Go down the mountain and look for stones. Fill your shepherd's bag with it three times and carry it to this place. Then immediately start building a church, because the Lord God wants to be honored on the pinnacle of this mountain. "With that the strange apparition disappeared and the shepherd awoke. But the angel's words moved his heart and he did as he was commanded. went and fetched three bags full of stones. Then he went out to work for bricklayers and carpenters. But when the workmen saw the tiny heap of small stones, they wanted to attack the shepherd in displeasure, thinking that he had wanted to do them for the best While they were arguing about, the pebbles had turned into large stones and blocks, and, overwhelmed by this miracle of the Lord, bricklayers and carpenters built a stately little church free of charge on a hill in the middle of the deep castle mountain forest. And immediately many pious catfish came from far and wide, and the The miraculous water from the pinned beech is said to have cured many eye patients, and many have come home from Marie with praise and thanks nkapelle on the castle hill.
