Sign on a wall reading (in German): Finkenherd. The legendary spot where Heinrich, the Duke of Saxony is said to have been offered the German King's crown.
The very same address also marks another important spot in German history. At least according legend, it was here where bird-hunting #HenryTheFowler, Duke of Saxony, was surprised by messengers sent to offer him the crown in 919, making him the first non-Frankish king of East Francia.
