 This legend gives the cavern its name.The preceding statement may refer to the Erdmannshöhle where the legend is, however, not about dwarfs (which is "Zwerge" in German), but rather "Erdmännlein" which can be translated as "manikin of the earth" and which seem to have a different origin.It is, however, possible that the "dwarvers" have their origin in the "Erdmännlein".
