Köllergrün should have been, according to a legend, the founding of the monastery Waldsassen.
The Waldsassener honor in Köllergrün until today a meaningful meeting, with the margrave Diepold III. from Vohburg in Köllergrün the hermit Gerwig von Wolmundstein should have met. Gerwig is said to have retreated to solitude in the Nordwald with companions. Gerwig and Diepold recognized themselves as former friends again. Gerwig is said to have nearly killed Diepold at a tournament earlier. He was so appalled that he went to atonement in the Benedictine monastery Siegburg near Cologne.
