Say

The most famous legend of hostage wind is from Murrmann, the story of a siege of the town hostage Wind in the Thirty Years' War.

The Mayor of hostage Wind wanted to prevent the capture and sack of the place and made off with two of his confidants on the way to the camp of the enemy's army to negotiate with the Swedish general. This was just about to start with the lunch and thought, perhaps due to this disorder quite indignant, not in negotiations. Angrily, he grabbed a sausage he was about to eat, she held out the negotiators and exclaimed: " As surely as I eat this sausage here: I 'll take hostage Wind "

The moment a black cat jumped on the shoulder of the general, slammed the sausage out of his hand, grabbed it and ran it with the sausage in its mouth.

According to legend, hostage wind was not taken at this siege. Depending on the version was the fact that the hostage Winder by this sign drew new courage and the siege repelled that the Swedes saw the events as an evil omen and moved on quickly, or that the Swedish general wanted to say anything untrue, but rather keep his word and therefore moved on.

Even today, a sandstone figure at the western end of the town square, which represents the Murrmann. The figure, on whose shoulder a cat sitting, with the outstretched arm holding a sausage up.
