To set the peasants in Lütte

Until the Congress of Vienna in 1815, the glacial valley formed the border between the Kingdom of Saxony and Brandenburg. The Flaming villages and thus also the Lütter were so Saxon. In its capital Dresden, a picture of the two delinquents should have found that gave the mountain, according to legend the name and there hung on the gallows: the shepherd of Lütte and his dog. The shepherd had driven his herd on the forbidden slopes of the Witch Mountain, where the sheep died promptly in a damp Kleefeld. The enraged farmers built thereupon the gallows and hung - once - the shepherd on. The dog followed after he sat crying day and night and in the body of his Lord and would not stir there. Since, however, was the killing of a dog at this time as a serious offense, the peasants came for the killing of the innocent animal alleged to jail. According to the description by Jan Feustel the lost image in Dresden contributed by matching chronicles the line of text: To set the peasants in Lütte.
