Say

The he-he

In earlier times, the communities of Rüdern and Untersambach argued who owned the Kientännig forest from time immemorial. A shepherd from Rüdern shoveled earth in his shoes and hid a ladle in his hat. When the day came to decide what to do with the forest, witnesses were heard. The shepherd stepped out and said: "As true as the Creator is above me, so true I stand on Rüderner soil!"

Thereupon the community of Rüdern was awarded the forest. After the shepherd's death, however, he had to evade his perjury . As He-He, he is up to mischief in the surrounding forests and worries people and animals above all with his loud shouts. He appears in different shapes, mostly as a small male, as a giant or as a hunter with a green hat. Less often the stories about the He-He are about a big black dog.

One day an innkeeper from Wiesentheid returned from Gräfenneuses and rode his white horse through the Rüderner forest. He had been warned about the He-he by the Graefneusers, but did not take the people's statements seriously. Instead, he mocked the He-he and rode bravely towards the forest. When he had almost crossed the forest, he was suddenly thrown from his horse and died in the same place.

There used to be a row of wooden pear trees on the Lange Buschäcker parcel . Two sisters had been sent by their parents, the pears to Dörren to harvest. However, the girls woke up too early and made their way to the trees around 11 p.m. When they got there, they saw a man coming down the hill next to the so-called Sprüsselsee. They believed that it is the Schlotfeger was about Rüdern, who was on his way to work. The man stopped facing them and looked at them for a while. Then he ran on in silence. The girls now saw that he was wearing a green hat and limping conspicuously. They watched the strange man for a long time, until suddenly midnight struck Rüdern . The forest was now bright and there was a crash and roar in the treetops. The girls chase back home and when the noise subsided no tree had been damaged.

The Schlerstein

On the old road between Ilmbach and Wiesentheid, where it crosses the path to Kirchschönbach in the hallway of Rüdern, there is an old cross stone . It is popularly called Schlerstein or Schlörstein. According to a legend, the estate manager of the Ilmbach Charterhouse is said to have been murdered there. Others report the murder of a brother from the Charterhouse. Maybe a duel took place there and a cross stone was set up for the loser.
