    According to legend, the giant lived on the Brunsberg. In the 1970s, homeless or archaeologists searched there for his grave. Instead of bones, they discovered gravel - which was worth a lot in the construction boom time of the time. "Now it was the Brunsberg by gravel mining at a rapid pace to the collar." After the demolition of the Hanstedter filled the huge crater with garbage. Nevertheless, the mountain was now ten meters smaller than before. "He has not reached his original height of 96.2 meters". "The once imposing Brunsberg was now history."
