King Watzmann
The Watzmann, at 2713 metres the third-highest mountain in Germany, takes its name from the Berchtesgaden saga of a cruel king turned to stone with his wife and children. Whoever sees the range sees seven figures: father, mother, son, daughter, and their following.
1 The cruel king
In a time before the Berchtesgaden monasteries, King Watzmann ruled over the Berchtesgaden land. He was rich and powerful, but so cruel that the peasants took him for the devil himself. He hunted with his dogs through the cornfields, trampled the harvest, and whoever did not pay his tax was torn by the dogs. His wife, Queen Watzmaennin, was worse than he. His children learned from him.
