Hundreds of dwarves lived around Wernigerode; they had their lairs in the mountains, in the zoo, and even in the ponds.
Hundreds of dwarves lived around Wernigerode; they had their lairs in the mountains, in the zoo, and even in the ponds. Where the pond dam now stands, there used to be an actual pond; the dwarves who lived there were called Nickels. When they had been on land and wanted to return to their dwellings, the little ones would strike the water with a rod, and it would immediately part and close again once the dwarves had passed through.
The Nickels often took children with them into their caves, which lay beneath the pond and were brimming with gold and silver; for this reason, the inhabitants of Wernigerode were very afraid of them.
