Once a bishop was hunting in the area around the Pleisse river. Somehow he got lost and finally fell asleep under a tree. In his sleep he dreamt about a roe following him. Suddenly he woke up from a sound in the woods and cried Wer Da ? (who is there ?), from which the name Werdau is derived. In front of him stood a roe with an arrow in its throat. He saw this as a divine symbol and founded the city. | Once a bishop was hunting in the area around the Pleisse river. Somehow he got lost and finally fell asleep under a tree.
