KYFFHAUSER , a See also:double See also:line of hills in Thuringia, See also:Germany. The See also:northern See also:part looks steeply down upon the valley of the Goldene Aue, and is crowned by two ruined castles, Rothenburg (1440 ft.) on the See also:west, and Kyffhausen (1542 ft.) on the See also:east. The latter, built probably in the loth See also:century, was frequently the See also:residence of the See also:Hohenstaufen emperors, and was finally destroyed in the 16th century. The existing ruins are those of the Oberburg with its See also:tower, and of the Unterburg with its See also:chapel. The See also:- HILL

high and the height of the whole 210 ft. This was erected in 1596. According to an old and popular See also:legend, the emperor See also:Frederick See also:Barbarossa sits asleep beside a See also:marble table in the interior of the See also:mountain, surrounded by his knights, awaiting the destined See also:day when he shall awaken and See also:lead the See also:united peoples of Germany against her enemies, and so inaugurate an era of unexampled See also:glory. But G. See also:Vogt has advanced cogent reasons (see His'. Zeitschrift, See also:xxvi. 131-187) for believing that the real See also:hero of the legend is the other See also:great Hohenstaufen emperor, Frederick II., not Frederick I. Around him gradually crystallized the hopes of the See also:German peoples, and to him they looked for help in the See also:hour of their sorest need. But this is not the only legend of a slumbering future deliverer which lives on in Germany. Similar hopes cling to the memory of See also:Charlemagne, sleeping in a hill near See also:Paderborn; to that of the Saxon hero See also:Widukind, in a hill in See also:Westphalia; to Siegfried, in the hill of Geroldseck; and to See also:- HENRY
