The legend of the Illmenseer bell

Before the Thirty Years War, Illmensee had a big bell with a splendid sound. When the Swedes came, the citizens sank their bell in the lake.

After the war, the community was completely impoverished. She had other worries, and the spot where the bell had sunk was forgotten. When, in better times, the people of Illmense remembered their bell, they couldn't find it.

One day a traveling scholar came to the village and offered to fetch the bell from the lake with the help of 30 men, whom he imposed absolute silence on. In fact, the bell was found. You were halfway out of the water by the time it struck noon.

One of the men said a prayer of thanks, others joined in and the bell sank back to the bottom. Since then, all searches have been in vain. Only on nights of the full moon can one hear how dark tones rise from the lake.

A beautiful lake. Definitely worth a visit for a swim in the summer. A walk around the lake is also worthwhile.
