Symbolik die man viel sieht. In der Begijnenhof in Amsterdam hängt auch eine Version (vielleicht das ich die mal hochlade). Dieser mit den Normänner ist aber viel älter. Was Menscheln alles so glauben und glaubten.

Gudrun ^club has replied to Ko Hummel ^club

Herzlichen Dank, Ko! Ziemlich drastisch für's gemeine Volk, gell:-) Damit hat man den Leuten ein schlechtes Gewissen gemacht und ihnen Geld aus der Tasche gezogen;-)
