Urban Legends

The river is known by the people of Berge [de], Germany, located on the bank of the river, for its magical properties. Local legend states that in 1855, a young boy living in the village became horribly sick with measles and eventually died. His mother who wished to cleanse her son's body of blood and infection, laid him in the river. Miraculously, after being placed in the river, the boy's body allegedly became warm again and woke up alive and well, and without any symptoms of the disease. It is unconfirmed if this legend is true or not, but ever since it has been custom within the town of Berge to soak sick individuals with a cloth full of water form the river.

[de] Pöppelsche

Die Pöppelsche ist ein strukturreicher Bach im Kreis Soest in Nordrhein-Westfalen, Deutschland. Sie fließt von Anröchte-Effeln gen Norden und mündet bei Lippstadt-Bökenförde in die Gieseler. Als so genannte Schledde in der Nordabdachung des Haarstrangs ist die Pöppelsche ein Temporärgewässer, das im Verlauf bis zum Dauerquellhorizont in Höhe der B 1 an über 250 Tagen im Jahr trockenfällt. Im Winter führt der in verkarstetem Gebiet verlaufende Bach fast immer Wasser, im Sommer fließt dieses überwiegend unterirdisch durch den klüftigen Kalkuntergrund.
