About this motif
The stone Roland on the market square was erected in 1404 and is regarded as a symbol of civic freedom. He looks towards the cathedral, the seat of the former archbishop.
Beloch's etching shows the Roland figure with sword and shield in front of a row of splendid gabled houses, with part of the town hall on the right. Picture around eight by eleven centimetres, plain, watercoloured or framed.
