The two main sights of Regensburg, the cathedral and the stone bridge that connects an ancient legend about the origin of the unique medieval works. At the Cathedral, the attentive observer will find a man of stone, plunges into the depths of the stone bridge, the "Bruckmandl sits" looking hand across his forehead in the direction of Dom. You are the architect of the cathedral and the bridge dar. Both were betting each other, who built his first stop, where the builder of the bridge was supposed to be the apprentice of the master builder. The apprentice then went to a covenant with the devil and promised him the first three souls that would go over the completed bridge, when he perfected them more than his master to the cathedral. The devil dragged the stones into the masses and helped to build. Very soon, she was ready, and as the builders of the cathedral stood on his frame and the work was finished, he threw himself down from the scaffolding. It should remind Said stone image. The bridge builder, but blocked the bridge, so that no one go about itcould. Then he first drove a dog, a rooster and a hen on the devil had to take delivery of rage and ripped the dog's head. The list of his rights by freeing architects now brought to the eternal symbol of the pictures of dog, rooster and hen on the bridge itself. Yet a little sidenote: The Regensburg Cathedral was not until the 19th Century completed. King Ludwig I (could also builder of Valhalla, and the Hall of Liberation in the area) to complete the two towers and put them with the 'Gothic' crown.
