Notes:

The single progeny of this Herman Grünhofer is only based on all the knowledge that I currently have on hand. There are at least two Grünhofers that owned Hammer Mills when the 1387 business contract was put into place. - James F Thoma - 07 Jun 2019

"The legend of Teufelhammer"

The miller from the hammer mill "Teufelhammer" at Wirbenz worked in his mill when the devil surprised him.

The devil coveted the beautiful miller's wife for himself. Of course, the miller did not agree and denied the devil his request. Excited with anger and disappointment, the devil banged his tail back and forth. The miller saw that he was constantly brushing the vise on the workbench. In a flash, before the devil came right to his senses, the cunning miller turned the vise and clamped the tail of the devil.

"Ow, au!", The devil whimpered in pain. "Open again!"

"Not until you promise to leave my wife alone!" Replied the miller. The devil promised everything that was sacred to him, because he was in such pain. The miller released him and the devil made off in no time.

After some time, the miller couple went from church in Wirbenz down to his property. Then the miller in the distance discovered the devil, because he met them both on the street. The man ordered his wife: "Go, woman, bend over and slap your skirts over your head!" Since the women did not wear any underwear at that time, one could see the miller's wife bare buttocks.

The miller leaned comfortably against a tree until the devil arrived. But when he saw the miller's behind, he suddenly remembered the vise and his pain. He could not see the miller's face. Full of fright he took off and left the miller people from then on in peace.

The smart miller and his wife but laughed in the throat.
