A local legend of Freiburg tells about a smith and his wife
living near the 'Christoffeltor', one of the town's former gates, a
long time ago. However the smith's wife was dissatisfied with their
marriage and fell in love with the apprentice. What a fortunate
coincidence it seemed that one day the smith died and the widow
could marry her lover. This could be the end of the story and in
fact the citizens of Freiburg didn't suspect for years what really
had happened.
But as the undertaker opened the grave several years later, he must
have been pretty frightened: A toad was kreeping out of the smith's
skull! Closer inspecting the skull, he discovered the cruel truth
about the smith's death. He had been murdered by a nail driven
right into his head. Nobody had noticed because the wound had been
hidden by a curl of hair combed over it. But now that the murder
was revealed the widow and her lover payed this sin with their
lives...

Die unter dem Vordach des Kirchleins sind "Comics aus dem Barock" mit sehr sehr schwarzem Humor zu finden. SEHENSWERT!
Auch sehenswert das Innere des Kirchleins!

Welch ein schöner, friedlicher Ort - fast mitten in der City. Beim 2. Besuch (im Trockenen) Cache gut gefunden - pfiffige Idee.
Danke, Trineker
