Tips
The jump on the Kiekenstein
According to the Poller Chronicle
At the time of Napoleon, a boy from Altendorf, Knocke, did not want to become a soldier.
He hid with Polle. Betrayed and tied to a horse's tail
we went to the French military court in Kassel. Knocke jumped in despair
here the red rock down. He only suffered abrasions. The gut was injured under the
dead horse Knocke disappeared in the Kiekenstein. Later he fought at Wateroo against Napoleon
