"Sagen vom Burgbrunnen

Einer Sage nach soll auf dem Grund des Bodens des erhaltenen Burgbrunnens eine goldene Wiege liegen. Das Kind, das einst in der Wiege lag, sei der Sage nach zuvor verstorben. Der Graf habe die goldene Wiege hinabwerfen lassen, damit die Trauer der Gräfin endete. Einer weiteren Sage nach soll im Brunnen ein Schlüssel liegen, der die Schatzhöhle des letzten Ritters der Tomburg öffnet. Der Schatz werde aber von Doggen bewacht, welche auf die Rückkehr ihres Herren warten, der mit Hilfe des Schatzes die Burg erneut errichten soll."

EN (Translation):
Legends of the Castle well

According to legend, a golden cradle is to be found on the bottom of the preserved castle fountain. The child, who once lay in the cradle, had died before the legend. The Count had cast down the golden cradle to end the Countess's mourning. According to another legend, a key is to be found in the well, which opens the treasure cave of the last knight of Tomburg. The treasure, however, is guarded by mastiffs who are waiting for the return of their master, who will rebuild the castle with the help of the treasure.
