No cache is worth to risc your health!


My grandfather once told me the story about the church-mouse in St. Nicolai.

Once the 3rd and 4th advent fell on same sunday. That is seldom and the church was filled with peasents that had a day off. The sexton had to empty the collection twice. But he was tempted by all the sterling and ran away with it. The church was bankrupt and the priest couldn't distribute the sacrament of the Eucharist. The little church mouse had mercy and rolled her last crumbs out of her hiding to the Christians so that they could share the bread.

Because mice can not be canonized, the parish thanked her in a very special way...


What to do? Discover this cute, hidden landmark of Flensburg and take a photographic picture.

N.B. The smily of the story is a german saying: "to bee poor as a church mouse" = to be totally bankrupt.

Nach dem HQ-Event liefen wir auch noch zu dem Kirchenmäuschen.

Als ich danach Ausschau hielt, rief mir einer ohne Nachfrage zu: Die Maus befindet sich dort hinten, bei der Regenrinne. Trotzdem musste ich erst mal genau hinschauen, bis ich sie erkannte. Echt toll und eine lustige Idee. - Meist findet man die Kirchenmäuse ja in den Innenräumen.

Danke fürs Ausdenken und Herlocken!

Hab bisher nur die beiden Kirchenmäuse in Trier gesehen. Diese hier ist kleiner, ohne Hinweis wohl kaum zu finden. Danke fürs Zeigen!
