    It looks to me like he is barring the doorway, to keep people out. I think it's a "No Parking" signimage Thanks for sharing, it's another wonderful piece!!

    Philip is right; Wartburg is the Detroit of East Germany!!! They produced Wartburg cars there until VW bought them out following the falling of the Wall.

    Isn't the Wartburg castle famous for housing some important monk or clergyman a few centuries ago?
