Kieselbronner Gaiß: The bronze figure on the square in front of the savings bank was donated by Christel Theilmann in 2001.
" "Gaißeschenner" is the traditional nickname for the people of Kieselbronn "
"The anecdote from Gaißeschenner
This was linked to the following popular story: “In a year when winter fodder for the cattle was very scarce, a farmer from Kieselbronn discovered a green grassy bush in the gutter of the church tower. He wanted to give it to his already starving goat. Without further ado, he tied a rope around her neck and the farmer used a hook to pull the poor animal up the church tower. When the maltreated goat's tongue hung out halfway up, the farmer said: "Gugged, she's hitting anyway - look, she's already licking it." Of course, the goat shouldn't have survived the whole thing."

The Kieselbronn Gaiß, which refers to the nickname of the Kieselbronn residents, namely "Gaißeschenner" (=goat-slayers). According to the story, fodder for the cattle was scarce at the time. A clever farmer spotted a last patch of greenery on the roof of the church tower. He wanted to give this greenery to his starving goat (Gaiß). He placed a rope around its neck and pulled it up the church tower. Halfway up, the farmer exulted: "How greedily it sticks out its tongue!" Unfortunately, the story didn't have a happy ending...
