Tips
He was a bon vivant who didn't always follow legal paths: Carl Heinrich Stülpner, to whom a memorial was erected here as Karl Stülpner. Born in Scharfenstein in 1762, the Erzgebirge soldier, poacher, smuggler, and manufacturer is still regarded as a folk hero in his homeland, occasionally even referred to as the "Saxon Robin Hood." Elaborate biographies surround him, contributing to a rich legend. Stülpner died in Scharfenstein in 1841.
