Since his childhood days, the artist Thomas Schwarz from Schleife has been closely associated with nature and the local legends that inspire him. His works are created with huge chainsaws to the smallest carving tools.
The strong Lysina emerged from a 200-year-old oak from the Jagdschloßwiese near Weißwasser. Here is the legend: In the vicinity of Mulkwitz lived robbers who came every evening in the tavern.
Once the strong Lysina and other peasants were in the tavern, the landlord asked them to stay with him in the evening and drive out the robbers. When the robbers come back, they should stand like soldiers and make noise with the old drum he had. The farmers were ready. When the robbers returned, a farmer drummed and the others started for the robbers. These became afraid and took flight, pursued by the peasants who crept into the robber's den. Here the strong Lysina found a golden arm and took it with him. A robber ran after him, caught up with him behind Rohne and tried to grab him. Then strong Lysina turned and struck the robber with the golden arm, so that he fell dead to the ground. He was buried in the same spot and Lysina wanted to place a memorial here.
Once he was in a loop with the ox-team, on the way back he took a cross on his back, carried it for three-quarters of an hour and set it as a memorial to the robber. The golden arm should be walled in the loop church, nobody knows where.
