Kisah dan tradisi
Einheer adalah nama tokoh legenda Jerman: seorang raksasa Swabia yang konon berasal dari Thurgau. Menurut legenda, ia hidup di daerah sekitar Zwickau pada masa ekspansi ke timur (Ostexpansion) dan bertempur melawan bangsa Wend. Sebuah patung Einheer kini berdiri di taman bermain di Taman Schwanenteich, Zwickau. Menurut Deutsche Sagen, Einheer hidup pada zaman Carl yang Agung. Ia begitu besar hingga mengarungi semua perairan tanpa perlu jembatan, menarik kudanya dengan ekornya, dan selalu berkata kepada kuda itu bahwa ia juga harus ikut. Kumpulan legenda lain menyebut nama aslinya Aenotherus, seorang Swabia kelahiran Thurgau di Swiss yang tinggal di Zwickau. Dalam perang melawan bangsa Wend dan Hun, Einheer membabat orang seperti rumput dengan sabit, menusuk mereka pada tombaknya, dan memanggul mereka seperti kelinci dan rubah. Sepulangnya, ia mengeluh telah memanggul tujuh atau delapan musuh tanpa tahu apa yang mereka 'kuakkan', dan menganggap tak sepadan Kaisar mengerahkan begitu banyak orang melawan 'katak dan cacing'. Namanya dijelaskan dari kenyataan bahwa ia hampir menyamai satu pasukan (Heer), dan musuh-musuhnya lari karena mengira ia iblis.
Einheer is the name of a figure of German legend: a Swabian giant said to have his home in Thurgau. According to legend he lived in the area around Zwickau at the time of the eastward expansion (Ostexpansion) and fought against the Wends. A sculpture of Einheer now stands in a playground in the Schwanenteich park in Zwickau. According to Deutsche Sagen, Einheer lived in the time of Carl the Great. He was so big that he waded through all waters without needing a bridge, dragged his horse along by its tail, and always told it that it must come along too. A collection of legends gives his real name as Aenotherus, a Swabian born in Thurgau in Switzerland who lived at Zwickau. In the war against the Wends and Huns, Einheer mowed people down like grass with a scythe, hung them on his spear and carried them like hares and foxes. Back home he complained that he had carried seven or eight enemies without knowing what they were 'croaking', and thought it not worth the Emperor's while to raise so many troops against such 'toads and worms'. His name is explained by his being almost the equal of an army (Heer), and his enemies fled thinking he was the devil.
