Am 9. August 1554 erschien Küster mit etwa 100 Mann in Ballenstedt. Ein armer Mann wurde erschlagen, andere wurden schwer verwundet, über 60 Pferde geraubt. Des Küsters Haus wurde niedergebrannt, er selbst fortgeschleppt. Im ganzen Harze wurde der Räuber gefürchtet. Er war der Schrecken der Kinder, der Held der Spinnstuben. Überall erzählte man von dem `kleinen, braunen Männlein`. (Translation: On August 9, 1554 Küster appeared in Ballenstedt with about 100 men. One poor man was slain, others were seriously wounded, more than 60 horses were robbed. The Küster`s house was burned down, he himself towed away. Throughout the Harz mountains, the robber was feared. He was the horror of the children, the hero of the spinning parlors. Everywhere they told about the `little, brown male`.) |
