Wikipedia: the place owes its name to an old legend:
 
 At Ford, where today the Elbchaussee crossed the Flottbek, carts were again and again through impeller breakage. It was assumed that it was there "with the devil going to". Then, a Carpenter was commissioned to build a bridge across the Creek. It took the help of the Devil's claim for the construction of the bridge and promised him that the soul of the first living organism that would go across the bridge.
 
 After the parish priest from Nienstedten had blessed the bridge on the day of the inauguration and wanted to enter a rabbit was startled by the crowd and ran as the first animal over the bridge.
 
 As far as the legend. The slightly nüchternere version [1] reads: "in Danish times there were two bridges, one over the Flottbek and one further West. From the 'Dövelten', so 'double' bridge was the Düvelsbrück"
 
 Today resembles a small statue (see photo opposite: "The devil ponders his rabbits") to the devil, who (for a rabbit's was hard) mulling with the rabbits in the hand over it, how that could happen to him − he was looking forward so to the soul of a priest!
