On my walk through Friesach I came across this fun shop sign at the storefront of a shoe shop. It shows a ‘Trojan Boot’ (Der trojanische Stiefel)

Bäckertauche in Friesach
While walking along the city walls of Friesach, I came across this reconstruction of a medieval installation. The german inscription describes it as Bäckertauche. Literature told me this used to be a tool for punishment in earlier times.
City wall of Friesach
The town of Friesach is still surrounded by a water-filled moat. The structure on the left side is a reconstruction of a Bäckertauche. In earlier times a Bäckertauche was used as a punishment tool similar to a cucking stool.
Posttor (Olsator) in Friesach
On my walk through Friesach I discovered this clever idea to visualize the medieval gate called Posttor or Olsator in its shape of about 1200 AD. The sign was transparent so I was able to match past and presence.
