Körbelitz Chambered Tomb View all content for Körbelitz

taken from Heimatheft der Gemeinde Körbelitz, 1997 From the giant lineage based in Nisselheim At Körbelitz, two giants arrived. They built two castles nearby, so that they see each other quite often. They lived in peace and unity, Until a while ago, a giant woman entered. Since 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 warriors, the brave 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. One of them was hit and fell down 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 the friend had told 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, To cover the bones of the dead. He erects the stones 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 makes a stop in the village, Can still hear from this legend.
