Bockereyders -Â Dark Night
"There are eight of us,
We go out stealing every night.
Because we are too lazy to work,
We rob churches.
Across woods and shrubs
All the way through the clouds!"
One of the famous legends in our region is the legend of the Bokkenrijders (goatriders) or as it was written back in the 18th century: Bockeryeders.
It was a fearsome gang that operated in the border region on both sides of the river Maas (Meuse), both in the Netherlands (Kerkrade), Germany (Aachen)
and Belgium (Wellen).
It was believed they rode on goats through the sky.....
