The head belongs to the kidnapper of the king, Kunz von Kaufung. The leader of the conspiracy against the king looks to his execution cities.

Kunz von Kaufungen was executed on the market square 6 days after the failed Altenburg prince robbery. A black stone marks the spot where his head fell. By kidnapping the princes, Kunz von Kaufungen wanted to put pressure on his sovereign, Elector Frederick the Gentle, in order to receive lost wages for military service and compensation for lost goods.
