Tips from the Community
A blossoming Pentecost morning dawned. In gentle light, the sun sent its golden rays over forest and field. The morning bells of Huysburg had barely faded when the devil and his followers climbed the mountain to preach to them. That small hilltop was to serve as his pulpit. He described the world's charms and its splendor to his listeners in the most magnificent colors. But the monks of Huysburg had already heard of Satan's beginnings. One of them therefore descended. With great power, he proclaimed to them the message of the Kingdom of God. Great was the devil's disappointment when he saw all his listeners abandon him and devoutly listen to the monk's words. Enraged, he seized his tail and leaped down the mountain. However, when he reached Anderbeck, his shoe, filled with dirt, pinched him so badly that he had to sit down for a while. He took off his boot and dumped the earth on the ground, creating a small hill which the locals, some of whom had witnessed the event, called "Cuckoo Hill." The devil then continued his journey to Braunschweig, hoping to find more receptive listeners there. But he had scarcely passed through Badersleben when his other boot, the one covering his hoof, began to pinch. As he beat it, a "Kisserling" (a type of stone) weighing about 20 hundredweight fell to the ground. This large stone still lies in the Glüsig, north of Badersleben. Since Satan is said to emerge from beneath it every night around midnight, the old people of Badersleben warn the young people by saying: "Don't go through the Glüsig at night; for that's where the devil comes out from under the Kisserling!"

The Wilhelmshall zu Anderbeck union, Anderbeck, was a mining union for the exploration and extraction of potash and rock salt. It was founded in Essen in 1886 by Heinrich Stallschmidt and Dr. Martin Schenck and taken over a short time later by the Wilhelm Sauer Group. (Source: Wikipedia)

In the middle of the Huy-Sattel valley, about 75m south of the S-curve of the Brückweg, a strong spring rises in the layers of the upper Bundsandstein, the water of which flows towards Wilhelmshall, joins the spring water from Huy-Neinstedt at the Kuckucksmühle and feeds the Anderbecker Becke. (°1) In the Middle Ages, the wooded area around the small forest pond belonged to the St. Georgenhospital in Halberstadt (as it is still assigned on the map of the Huy from 1806). The name "Jürgenbrunnen" probably came from "Georgsbrunnen". The Huy hiking guide (Natur- und Umweltbund Huy e.V.) does mention a St. George's monastery in Halberstadt, but it never existed.
