Hiking

The old slaughterhouse shows its former use with the depiction of an ox above the main portal. From 1742, the building on the Kranen supplemented the existing slaughterhouse, which was a little further up the river. Livestock were also slaughtered here. Back then, slaughterhouse waste was simply thrown into the river. The traders displayed their wares on so-called “meat benches” openly on the street.

A scoundrel who thinks evil of the fact that the ox from the former slaughterhouse now adorns the university.

The former slaughterhouse of the city of Bamberg with a meat sales hall is located on the Kranen and today serves as a part of the university building. The old slaughterhouse is best known for its faithful depiction of an ox above the main portal.
