Depiction of Entenwick at Sachsenheim Castle .

Entenwick or Klopferle is the name of a goblin associated with the fate of the von Sachsenheim family, in whose castle he is said to have lived.

It is said that he was an angel cast out of heaven and that he had a bird's voice. He had not sinned like the rest of the fallen and so hoped that mercy would be granted to him. So for more than a thousand years he hid in a blade of grass in the moor, waiting for an opportunity. Finally he followed a servant to Sachsenheim, where, according to the Zimmerische Chronik , he also made himself very useful:

All servitude and whatever was done in the castle of Thuon, he did quite willingly, as was obeyed in the ds. He has pre-ignited the people with liechter, kartenspill and other things that he was hated to bring. Such a thing was seen in the air, and nobody who wore it was told to see it. Nobody has never announced it. As soon as he got into a room, he started talking at once; but since he was already silent, one noticed that he was there, that mertails to which, as in the same made, the attem has become somewhat shorter. All pray, what one said in front of him, he said that, including faith and the Lord's Father, without the word, and for us not in bad temptation, but deliver us from all evil! ' he has talked about them and never said waves.

He is described as terrible to look at, so once Mr. Reinhard von Sachsenheim wanted to see the goblin and although the ghost refused, the gentleman urged him until he showed him his arm:

He was with long tips on his elbow and outside, but his fingers on his hands were also pointed and horrible and the colors were so terrifying, mixed with ploe and blood-colored and gel spreckln that I heard from the edelman himself, that he did it all his day I have never seen an ugly and horrible sight.

When Mr. Reinhard, at the insistence of his friends, had the ghastly, but nevertheless helpful, spirit conjured up and banished, the latter imposed a curse on the Sachsenheim family, which was to mean the end of the family. Shortly afterwards, the entire property burned down completely:

And Sachsenhaim Castle, from which the noble people originate and names, burns, is not allain, as ain warhaftigs Praesagium and ain vorbott in the future bad, but also the ancient family died in a few years, which was in our front ferns in high regard, and has fornem people in the knighthood and all noble things.
