About this motif
Splendid Renaissance town houses stand on Erfurt's Fischmarkt, telling of the wealth of the woad merchants. Erfurt grew rich in the Middle Ages through the dye plant woad.
König's miniature shows the house "Zum Breiten Herd" with its richly decorated gable and figurative frieze, with the column bearing the figure known as the "Roman" and benches in front. Image about 5 x 5 cm, black and white or hand-coloured, framed on request.
