    At this point, recognizable by the light repair stones to the left of the gutter, in 1634, during the Thirty Years' War, the siege cannons of Duke Bernhard of Weimar shot a breach in the wall, which almost proved fatal to the people of Kronach. On a plaque below the second window to the left of the gutter, the almost completely weathered inscription reads:
    "Take care of these walls
    "Then with great power
    "From Duke Bernhard of Weimar
    "The press was fired here
    "Then a storm was launched, but GOD'S grace
    "Gave the citizens VICTORY.
    "21 March 1634"

        The upper town of Kronich is always worth seeing, there are also many good restaurants including an Indian 😘
