rutha was born in reichenberg, austria-hungary (modern liberec, czech republic). a prominent landscape feature where he was growing up was the devil's wall (german teufelsmauer, czech čertova stěna) a huge outcrop of volcanic black rock that resembles a wall reaching more than thirty feet high and running over 20 miles that local legend had it was built by the devil to keep the quarreling ethnic germans and czechs of bohemia apart after a farmer sold his soul in exchange for the wall being, saying he would rather burn in hell forever rather than deal with his neighbors. for reasons that remain unclear, the devil features in a disproportionate number of bohemian folk tales, both german and czech. the devil's wall become a symbol of the german-czech dispute as the people living north of the wall tended to speak german while the people living south of the wall tended to speak czech.
