About this motif
Memmingen in the Allgäu is a former Free Imperial City with a very well-preserved old town. In 1525 the peasants' "Twelve Articles" were drawn up here; they are regarded as one of the first demands for civil liberties in Europe.
Sommer's miniature shows the town stream with a bridge and railing, gabled houses on both sides and the tower of the Frauenkirche behind. Image about 5 x 5 cm, black and white or hand-coloured, framed on request.
