Reliefs of Clerical Life

· Leave a comment ·

These bronze reliefs show scenes depicting the Premonstratensians who founded the Cathedral of Havelberg (a town in Brandenburg, about an hours drive west of Berlin) in the 12th century. They are on the outside walls of the cathedral. Not, I think, a very flattering representation: contemplative life, removed from the people; lording over a battlefield, soldiers and skulls, during the Wendish Crusade, a military campaign to crush the Slavs; contemplative life, removed from the people; and feasting on the labours of others in the last. The artist is contemporary Bernd Streiter.

They understand children at the restaurant which is part of the Schmucker brewery. They offer four children’s dishes:

"I don't know"
"I don't care"
"Anything"
"I'm not hungry"

I particularly like the last option. It reads: empty plate with cutlery for use as drumsticks.It’s free.In other restaurants that’s called a “pirate’s plate”, it’s an empty plate for children to be filled by titbits from the paying adults.
