THE LITTLE STONE MAN The legendary little stone man is probably a very old stone road or border cross. Age, origin, material - all these things have long been forgotten. None of the older residents of Karbach can tell us anything about it: "Where does it come from?" "How old is it?" "Who put it up?" "What is the significance of the eagle?" "What path or boundary does it show us?" "Why is there metal on the sides?" "Was it perhaps a gravestone?" All of these questions remain unanswered. Only the legends and scary stories, they are preserved. Often you hear the spooky legend that if you walk by here, a ghost in the form of a stone man will jump on your back and demand to be taken home. In another story it is said that if you pass by there at midnight, all the buttons will fall off your from your clothes, pants, shirts and jackets. But you need not be afraid now, the only the only true story that Horst Bender of the Bender could tell us about the little stone man, is as follows: In former times the children of Karbach collected almost daily with their school teacher Mr. Pollesche. They made a fun of it, with small small sticks and branches to hit the little stone man. with small sticks and branches. Through the many attempts, the The many attempts, the effort of throwing and the romping around caused one or the other of the rascals to lose many a button from his shirt. At that time there was a lot of trouble at home, because they tried to hit the stone man again and lost the buttons. Thus we have then probably the origin of the one story.
