In 1869, the Englishman Sir William Duncan founded Duncan's Linen Industry AG in Großschweidnitz, on the edge of the Höllengrund valley. Locally, it was known as the English Bleaching Works or the "Engelei" (since Duncan came from England). This was because the majority of the production from his main factory in Rawda, near Leeds, was exported to Germany. The company grew to almost 600 employees by the First World War and was the largest employer in the town until the opening of the Saxon Sanatorium and Nursing Home in 1903. In 1874, Duncan had a villa built for himself on a hill at the edge of his factory. (Wikipedia)

The Legend: A maiden went to the depths of hell, A vagabond followed her. He wanted to seduce her and sinfully touch her at this most still hour. With cunning, he crept after her, making the maiden frightened. With terrible horror, she fled screaming, and knew neither way forward nor back! At the precipice, she paused briefly and dared the deep fall. And the vagabond jumped after her into the depths, and remained hanging by his apron. The maiden jumped unharmed, the villain hung by a thread! No soul helped him, as he tormented himself for so long! Then worms and maggots devoured him!
