Steinfeld Monastery

According to a medieval legend from around 912 AD, the basilica in nearby Steinfeld was not built by human hands alone. Count Sibodo von Hochsteden, Herr von Altenahr, is said to have taken an even unearthly squire into his service (Bonschariant), who successfully defended his master with his strength and agility in every situation, showed no fear and defied any danger. Even gravity presented no obstacle to him and he could therefore fly over long distances through the air. The count owed it to this property that his terminally ill wife could be saved, because the squire organized the saving medicine made of dragon's blood with lioness milk in the far East within an hour. But ingratitude is the world’s reward and the count’s just recovered wife, suspecting the corpse in the squire, urged the husband to build a church in honor of God for his soul's salvation. Clever as he was, the count complied with his wife's request and chose the building site in his hunting area on a hill in the Ardennes forest, which was called the stone field. However, Count Sibido did not want to do without the loyal help of his squire and pretended that the building of the church was a hunting lodge. The squire, unlike the Almighty, was not omniscient, and helped the church to be completed quickly - but when he placed the cross on the tower, he recognized what he had used his strength for. Furious at this ruse, he threw a heavy stone that was still in his hand far into the valley next to Steinfeld between Steinfelderheistert and Diefenbach, which he pressed so angrily that one could still see the prints of his head and claws in it. So much for the legend. The "Teufelsstein" itself can no longer be seen today, because it was buried during the construction of the road between Steinfelderheistert and Diefenbach.
