The White Lady of Hohenbourg Castle Not far from Hohenbourg Castle, just before the German-French border, is the Maidenbrunnen, which bears witness to a sad story: The lords of Hohenbourg and Wegelnburg were enemies for a long time. And as it was bound to happen, the squire Robert von Wegehiburg fell in love with Edwige, daughter of Lord von Hohebourg. She often lingered at the rich source between the two castles. One day Robert went hunting. He chased after a wild boar that rushed to the spring where Edwige was staying. In the heat of the moment, the wild boar jumped at Edwige, but Robert, a good hunter, was able to catch the wild boar just in time and won the heart of his beloved through this act. Often the two secretly spent time at this spring between the enemy castles. But one day the lord of Hohenbourg surprised his daughter in the arms of his archenemy's son. In blind rage he stabbed Robert in front of Edwige's eyes. She collapsed in grief and died on the spot, immediately following her lover to the realm of the dead. Since that awful day, two forget-me-not shrubs have been growing at this spring, now known as the Maiden's Well. It is not uncommon to see a white shadow over the Maidenbrunnen here at dusk: it is the ghost of Edwige, which descends from the cellars of the Hohenbourg and seeks the place of her love. There she sings sad words and sheds tears in the rivulet before vanishing again, carried by the wind. This legend comes from this link_: (https://www.wanderparadies-wasgau.de/hohenbourg.php)
