To the legend:

From the giant sex from Nisselheim
At Körbelitz, two big dunes arrived.
They built two castles nearby,
so that you see each other quite often.
They lived in peace and unity,
Until a while ago, a giant woman entered.
That they did not have any women yet,
Both committed themselves as spouses.
Now the cause was given to the fight,
Which should embitter their life.
Gone was the unity
Immediately the wild quarrel began
And the darts, the bold ones,
Were very strong as a giant.
The one throws a boulder into the castle,
The other one also used such stones.
So they hurled the stones from castle to castle,
Smashed the towers, through the walls.
The one fell sank
And soon afterward struggled with death.
Then the remorse returns to the other,
With compassion, he enters the castle,
He still meets his friend alive
Give him the hand as a noble man
And promises, as his friend called him,
The last honor to prove him.
When he gave up his spirit,
First he digs a shallow grave for him.
Then he brings huge stones,
The cover is supposed to bones of the dead.
He directs her to a chamber,
Put in jar and hammer,
Rest the dead in it '
And cover them with big stones. -
The castle sites are empty and desolate,
The tomb still exists today.
And whoever is in the village will come,
Can still hear from this legend.

The Großsteingräber at Körbelitz were originally at least three megalithic graves of the Neolithic Alt-Tiefstichkeramikkultur near Körbelitz, a district of the unitary community Möser in the district of Jerichower Land in Saxony-Anhalt. Of these, there is only one thing left today. The remaining facilities were destroyed in the 18th or 19th century. The preserved grave is also known as the "High Stone".

I didn't know the saga, found by Pascal, either, although I've been there several times (by bike 🚴 or motorcycle 🏍️). In any case, an enormous view from there (Magdeburg Cathedral) 👍
