DEVIL`S FIGURE ON THE DEVIL`S STONE
When the first stones of St. Mary were laid the devil believed that this building would be a wine bar.
He liked the idea, because many souls had already found their way to him after frequently visiting such a place. So he mixed with the crowd and started to help the workers. No wonder that the building grew higher and higher amazingly fast.
But one day the devil had to realise what the building would really be.
Full of anger he grabbed a huge boulder to smash the walls that were already standing. He was just flying near through the air when a bold fellow shouted at him: "Just stop it, Mr. Devil! leave what has already been erected! For you we will build a wine bar just here in the neighbourhood!" The devil was very pleased with this idea. He dropped the boulder beside the wall, where it is lying until this day. One can still see the devil`s claws on the stone. And just opposite the church the workers built the wine cellar of the town hall.

DIE TEUFELS-FIGUR AUF DEM TEUFELSSTEIN VOR ST. MARIEN
Als man die Grundmauern der Marienkirche legte,
glaubte der Teufel, dass man dabei sei, ein Weinhaus zu
errichten. Das gefiel ihm, denn schon manche Seele
hatte über einen solchen Ort den Weg zu ihm genommen.
Er mischte sich deshalb unter die Arbeiter und half.
Kein Wunder, dass der Bau staunenswert schnell
in die Höhe wuchs. Doch musste der Teufel eines Tages
erkennen, worauf es hinauslief mit dem Bau, und voller Wut
schleppte er einen gewaltigen Felsbrocken herbei,
die angefangene Kirche damit zu zertrümmern. Schon brauste
er durch die Lüfte heran, da rief ihm ein kecker Geselle zu:
"Haltet ein, Herr Teufel ! Lasst stehn, was steht ! Wie bauen
Euch dafür neben der Kirche ein Weinhaus !" Das schien dem
Teufel geratener; er liess den Stein hart vor der Mauer
der Kirche fallen. Dort liegt er noch und zeigt deutlich
die Eindrücke der Teufelskrallen, und gleich neben
der Kirche wurde der Ratsweinkeller erbaut.
