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...

Allen Nachfindern sei geraten: Schaut Euch die Malereien an!
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!

Danke fürs Zeigen!

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

Danke, Trineker Wink
