Tips

Harald Schramm (Schocker)

The unicorn, described as a donkey-like, white horse with a very strong, healing horn, can only be caught in the wild by virgins. The fabulous creature is therefore found as a symbol of pharmacists, but also found its way into Christian mythology as a symbol of purity, i.e. as a symbol of the Immaculate Conception of Mary at the birth of the Messiah. The motif comes from Assyrian depictions, where the unicorn kneeled to pay homage to the god of the sun. The unicorn and the lions can be found on the coat of arms of Archbishop Ernst von Thun.
