"Der Beherrscher der Hölle suchte einst das Tal der Ahr auf und fand an Land und Leuten, vor allem aber an dem roten Feuerwein derart Gefallen, dass er darüber seine Heimkehr vergaß. Da nahte eines Tages dem auf dem Berg gegenüber von Altenahr behaglich Ruhenden sein Großmutter in der Gestalt einer schönen Jungfrau.

In den Armen des verliebten Teufels verwandelte sie sich alsbald in die ihm nur allzu gut bekannte, widerwärtige Alte zurück. Erbost packte er die Großmutter und schleuderte sie durch die Felswand hinunter in die Hölle zurück."

EN (Translation):
"Once the ruler of the hell visited the valley of the Ahr and thought in country and people, above all, however, in the red fire wine so fallen that he forgot his homecoming about it. One day there approached on the mountain towards from Altenahr comfortably quiescent be a grandmother in the shape of a nice virgin.

In the arms of the devil in love she changed directly in to him only much too well known, disgusting old people back. Infuriated he packed the grandmother and flung them by the cliff face down in the hell back. "
