Hauff‘s tale “The Cold Heart“ – an outline Wilhelm Hauff (1802-1827) was a German writer who had a relative in Baiersbronn. The Black Forest inspired him to write the tale „The Cold Heart“ (1827). Wilhelm Hauff The tale deals with the charburner Peter Munk who is tired of being poor. There are only two possibilities to get rich: He can consult the „Glasmännchen“, a good ghost who proposes him to stay and work in the Black Forest. But Peter does not get rich and so he uses the second possibility: the evil „Hollaender-Michel“, also some kind of ghost. He replaces Peter´s heart by a stone, a „cold heart“, and the former charburner lives and works very unsastainably and heartless as a rafter. Peter has no feelings any more and even kills his wife. In the end, he gets his heart back by a trick and the „Glasmaennchen“ helps him to make up his sins. The „Hollaender-Michel“ Peter Munk and the „Glasmaennchen“
