Photographer: Andrew Ruppenstein
Taken: September 22, 2018
Caption: Coat-of-Arms of Bishop Julius Echter
Additional Description: Many Bavarian public buildings built in the late medieval period or later have a dedication plaque of sorts, usually indicating who was responsible for construction, and also usually having some sort of religious praise for God. In this instance the plaque was preserved and is visible above the coat-of-arms, with three successive rhyming couplets indicating that Bishop Echter built this (gate) for Gerolzhofen.
