Rockelmann
The Rockelmann is a mountain in the Ore Mountains in Saxony, southeastern Germany. It is south-southwest of Schwarzenberg. It formerly had two granite quarries, one of which was converted into an open-air theatre in the 1920s, the other into a Nazi arena (''Thingplatz'') in the 1930s, and is also the site of a memorial to soldiers killed in World War I; all three are within Rockelmann Park, which was laid out in the 1930s.
==Mountain==
The first extant mention of the Rockelmann is in a church document dated 1552. The origin of the name is unknown. The mountain is a source of granite as well as of augen gneiss,〔Ferdinand Zirkel, ''Lehrbuch der Petrographie'', Bonn: Marcus, 1866, Volume 2, , (p. 414 ) 〕 and rock was quarried for centuries at two points on the mountain above the town; granite from the Rockelmann was used to build the castle, to build St. George's Church (''St.-Georgen-Kirche'') in the 1690s and to rebuild the town after a disastrous fire in 1709.〔Siegfried Sieber, ''Um Aue, Schwarzenberg und Johanngeorgenstadt: Ergebnisse der heimatkundlichen Bestandsaufnahme in den Gebieten von Aue und Johanngeorgenstadt'', Werte unserer Heimat 20, Berlin: Akademie, 1972, , (p. 128 ) 〕 A section of the town is named after the mountain.
In 1908 there were efforts to build a lookout tower on the mountain. The dialect poet Curt Rambach composed a poem entitled "Wos iech erlabt hoo off'n Rokelmaa!" (What I experienced on the Rockelmann) which was printed on postcards in aid of the campaign.
