Trumpet Jump

Trumpeter jump in Rheder

The trumpet jump, a steep rock face above the Nethe in the direction of Brakel, is popularly associated with a legend from the Thirty Years War . A memorial stone with a bronze plate donated by Adolf Freiherr Spiegel von und zu Peckelsheim was erected at this point. The legend goes:

At that time when robbery and hatred and sword
ravaged the German fatherland three times ten years
There lives in Rheder's quiet hut
A man in the middle of his childhood,
The Behler was called, who
nourishes his honestly and diligently , he was a respectable old man .
Once he was torn from his wife's arm.
The enemies' wild swarm of riders.
The village was already in full glow
. The poor blood was shed.
As a man, Behler spoke, pleaded and pleaded,
averting wisely many evil deeds.
Then he became the enemy of the black deeds blackest perpetrator,
a villain, he serves the enemy as a trumpeter.
His armor is covered by a tiger heart.
He was robbed of lust and murder was a joke.
Full of anger he grabbed the old man's hand
And tied him to the horse's tail
As if he wanted to drag him to
death over mountains and valleys for greater agony .
But suddenly the youth's blood warmed the
good old farmer's courage.
He tore himself loose with a strong hand
And here on this edge of the abyss, he
pushed down with a powerful push
Den Wüterich and his snorting horse.
So the bold courage of the man's highest treasure
was consecrated by him, the place is still called "trumpeter jump".
Often, in quiet midnight,
When the wanderer wakes up lonely,
When listening to lovely nightingales
He also listens to the wave that breaks on the rock,
Then he hears fearful deaths
It is the ghost of that villain
Often it sounds like the sound of a trumpet
And often like eagle owl's funeral song.

The poem comes from Pastor Joh. Franziskus Springer († 1814).
