1. The Biergarten Marker

Inscription. You are now standing in the Biergarten. Originally, this served as the area where horse-drawn carriages would drop off and pick up beer barrels. Look up at the windows and notice the remnants of iron hinges where shutters once hung, as well as bricked-over areas where old windows, chutes or walkways used to be.
