1. Der Talkrabb / The Valley Crow Marker
In früheren Zeiten sollen sich, so die Überlieferung, besonders viele Krähen im Feuerbacher Tal aufgehalten haben. Sie müssen so präsent gewesen sein, dass sie den Feuerbachern den Spitznamen Talkrabben einbrachten. Dass die Feuerbacher Stadtväter 1907 den fleißigen Biber und nicht das freche schwarze Federvieh die Ehre zukommen ließen, ihr Wappen zu schmücken, verwundert nicht. Und doch, für viele ist der Talkrabb nach wie vor ein liebgewonnenes Sinnbild Feuerbachs.
Die Figur des Talkrabbs wurde gestiftet von Karl und Elfriede Mueller.
The Valley Crow
According to tradition, particularly large numbers of crows once lived in the Feuerbach valley. They must have been so common that the people of Feuerbach were given the nickname Talkrabben, or valley crows. It is hardly surprising that in 1907 Feuerbach’s town leaders chose the hardworking beaver rather than the cheeky black bird to adorn the town’s coat of arms. Nevertheless, the Talkrabb remains a beloved symbol of Feuerbach for many people.
The Talkrabb figure was donated by Karl and Elfriede Mueller.
