Surname
Legends of the knight ramm
According to a legend, the mountain is said to have got its name from a knight named Ramm : On a hunting excursion in 968, the knight, a follower of Emperor Otto the Great , tied his horse to a tree in order to stalk the game on foot in the rough terrain. The horse pawed its hooves in impatient expectation of its master, exposing the ore. In honor of the “discoverer”, the mountain is said to have been called Rammelsberg by Otto I there .
The knight Ramm also plays a role in the legend of the magic jet. Here, together with the knight Otto, he redeems 11 girls and his own father who were held captive by the magic jet and thus wins their treasures "on the Rammelsberg", which were then lifted by miners.
Ramsen
Local researchers derive the name from Ramsen , the common name for the bear's garlic plant in the Harz region . Rammelsberg would then be "the mountain overgrown with wild garlic".
Reference to ore deposits
The term ram can also be found in other areas with mining history traditions, such as Ramsau. The Italian word for “copper” is rame .
Ramming
According to linguists, the name of the knight cannot be traced in ancient sources, rather an origin from the verb rammeln is postulated.

Mining history
See the Mining History section of the Rammelsberg article
Herzberger pond
In order to have enough impact water for the water wheels of the mine in dry times , the Herzberger pond was created in 1561 at the western foot of the Rammelsberg. In the years 1926 to around 2000 this was operated as a forest pool . Until the mine was closed, the water was used to cool the system, the warm water was then pumped back into the pond and heated the swimming pool in the forest pool. The facilities of the bathing establishment have been demolished since around 2014.
