According to legend, a boy from Dahlen was captured and put in a sack while trying to warn Emperor Henry of a Sorbian trap. The boy managed to escape by hopping to the emperor in the sack. Today, only the Sackhupper sculpture in Dahlen's market bears witness to the story. https://www.hitradio-rtl.de/nachhoeren/sachsenhits/Dahlen-id682454.html
