    The figure is reminiscent of the soot burners' trade that was practiced in Marktleuthen from the Middle Ages to the 19th century.

    They made the so-called "Kienruß" from the residues of black pitch production, which was particularly needed for the production of black paint, printer's ink and boot polish. The product was packed in small containers made of wood chips, the so-called "soot butts" and transported to customers on the back of the "Roußbuttnboum".

    In 1967, the copper-forged "Roußmännl" was erected on a five-meter-high Luisenburg granite boulder on the Eger Bridge, which was newly built in 1963.
