Painted Donkey Sculptures in Eschbach

The people of Eschbach and their donkeys, as the saying goes. The people of Eschbach were pious citizens and lived a Christian life, and they decorated their clothes with donkey motifs. The citizens of Eschbach live below the Madenburg and used to be the subjects of the donkey knights. Therefore, the citizens of Eschbach decorate their village with numerous donkeys.

Donkey sculptures have been scattered throughout the town since 2004.
The Eschbacher got the nickname donkey from the inhabitants of the neighboring villages.

The whole thing goes back to the former knights of Madenburg: de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gesellschaft_mit_dem_Esel
