One late evening, the fiddler Spielkässer lost his way and found himself on the graveyard of Bensberg. As he was rather drunk, he decided to play a tune for the dead.

Unfortunately for him, in response the dead rose from the graves and danced. And whenever he got tired and wanted to stop, they rushed him until he continued.

He had to play until morning, and then never made music on a graveyard again.
