THE COLD HEART The well-known fairy tale "The Cold Heart" by Wilhelm Hauff deals with the difficult life of a charcoal burner. Peter, a charcoal burner in the depths of the Black Forest, is fed up with the poor and hard life of a charcoal burner and exchanges his heart with the evil Dutchman Michel for one made of stone, thereby becoming a wealthy man. But in doing so, he also becomes arrogant, stingy, and cruel, and incurs grave guilt. He is very unhappy, but with the help of the well-meaning glass man, he is able to win back his heart from Dutchman Michel, so that the eternal struggle between good and evil finally finds a happy ending.
