Einersheimer Gate - eastern side, upper portion of gatehouse
Photographer: Andrew Ruppenstein
Taken: July 14, 2012
Caption: Einersheimer Gate - eastern side, upper portion of gatehouse
Additional Description: Perched above the entryway between the two windows sits the Pechnase ("machiolation"). Literally the "bad-luck nose" from which a defender could pour boiling pitch or hot water upon the attacking enemy. Bad luck, indeed.
