Manhole Cover in Coburg
The manhole covers in Coburg show the city arms. They display the head of Saint Maurice, the patron of the city. According to legend, Saint Maurice died as leader of the Theban Legion a martyr’s death in the 3rd century. In general, this depiction of him is known as Coburger Mohr (Coburg Moor).
This sundial is located at the Nassauer Haus in Nuremberg. I love the design which reminds on a scroll. Around the corner, there is another sundial with a more common design.
