Photographer: Andrew Ruppenstein
Taken: September 24, 2018
Caption: Relief above doorway - by Balthasar Heinrich Nickel (circa 1794)
Additional Description: According to the WürzburgWiki, the relief shows Hueber dressed in his City Councillor attire, presenting the bequest papers, with a group of elderly maids looking on. WürzburgWiki also indicates that Hueber made the bequest specifically for elderly maids that had worked for more than 20 years Würzburg households, because women who worked their full lifetimes as maids typically were compensated with room and board but little cash (and as a condition of employment were to remain unmarried), thus leaving them with few resources at time of retirement.
