      The Teufelsmauer in the district of Harz in Saxony-Anhalt is a rock formation made of hard Upper Cretaceous sandstone in the northern Harz foothills, which runs for about 20 km from Ballenstedt via Rieder and Weddersleben to Blankenburg (Harz). Numerous prominent individual rocks of the Harz cliffs have their own names, such as the Eagle Rocks, the Caesar Rocks or the Hamburg Coat of Arms.

      Many legends and myths have been formed to explain the special nature of this place. It was therefore placed under protection by the district administrator in 1833 and 1852 in order to prevent the mining of the coveted construction sandstone. The Teufelsmauer near Weddersleben has been designated as a Teufelsmauer und Bode nature reserve northeast of Thale since 1935, making it one of the oldest nature reserves in Germany.
