Töpfergasse

Highlight • Settlement

Most visitors commute between the castle, Luther beech and the market square. Only a few get lost a little further up the mountain - this area of the city is extremely attractive.

According to legend, the tailor's wife was once very ill. The tailor knew that his wife would die if he did not visit the doctor from the neighboring town. Then the tailor sets out and fights his way through the stormy night. His hands and feet freeze when he suddenly sees a fire in the distance. He walks towards the fire and when he arrives he warms himself against it. He tries to light his pipe with a glowing piece of coal, but he doesn't succeed. He is just about to throw away the coal when he notices that he has a piece of gold in his hands. He tries another piece of coal. But that also turns to gold as soon as he takes it out of the fire. The tailor is happy, retrieves more pieces of gold from the fire and dreams of a beautiful life with his wife.

When he wants to go back to the doctor, he can hardly move. His legs are heavy as lead and give out with every step. As hard as he tries, he can't get up. Then he gets very scared. Suddenly he hears a voice coming from the edge of the forest. She whispers to him that he should also think of the poor, the church and the orphans. The tailor promises that if he ever makes it home, he'll remember it. He immediately feels that he can move his legs again and continues on his way to the doctor. His wife is soon healed and the two lead a life of wealth and happiness. He keeps his promise and gives the needy from his treasure, which he found in the stormy night.
