About this motif
The covered Hangman's Bridge leads across the Pegnitz to the Hangman's Tower, where the executioner once lived. Because he was shunned by society, he lived apart on a river island.
Bauer's etching "Hangman's Bridge" shows the massive tower, the covered wooden footbridge and half-timbered houses by the water, with slender poplars on the right. Image about 5 x 7 cm on a 13 x 18 cm sheet, black and white or hand-coloured, framed on request.
