Legend of the Weaver's Tower and the Devil's Tower:
It happened around the year 1280 that Count Siegfried von Blankenburg went to Goslar to steal the cattle of the town's citizens. This sacrilegious act failed and the count was captured. As punishment, he had to build a tower on the northern part of the town wall.This building, now known as the Weaver's Tower, did not meet the expectations of the Goslar councilors. Siegfried von Blankenburg had no choice but to build another tower in the town fortifications. He did this amid loud protests and uttering horrible curses: "So another tower shall be built in the name of the devil!"That is why this second tower is now called the Devil's Tower.translated by
