The Kyffhäuser Mountains are home to one of Germany's most important monuments: the Kaiser Wilhelm National Monument - built in honor of Kaiser Wilhelm I and to commemorate the unification of Germany in 1871. The location is not only steeped in history, but is also closely linked to the most important German national legend. According to this legend, Emperor Barbarossa sits asleep at a stone table in the underground castle. During his centuries-long sleep, his beard grows through the table. Every hundred years, the emperor wakes up from his deep sleep and checks to see if the black ravens are still flying around the mountain. When the ravens are no longer visible, Barbarossa will return and recreate his empire.
