legend

A legend has come down to us from earlier times:

“Between the village of Radewitz and the desert of Leuwen, on which there was supposed to have been an outbuilding in the past, there is a small depression in the ground that is popularly called the Ritschiendelle. Older people, who were born in Radewitz, now know that there is also a rider without a head at this point at midnight. When the youth come home from dancing in the neighboring villages at night on the way to Radewitz, they should like to avoid this narrow subsidence. The popular saying explains the ghostly figure of the headless rider as follows: Long times ago, during the Thirty Years' War, a mounted man of the imperial mercenaries is said to have been beheaded for a crime at the Ritschiendelle; but now the soul of the judged finds no more rest, and therefore drives its spook at the place of execution.
