    The Eierschecken baker tells the original story and the peculiarity of the city wall, which had to be repaired with quark during the siege because mortar was running out. The bakers then ran out of quark in their bakeries. But they knew how to help themselves: instead of quark, they used more eggs and sugar - the Freiberger Eierschecke was invented. The figure was created by Erika Harbort.

    🍰👨‍🍳✨ The statue of the Eierschecke baker is one of the most charming stops on the Freiberg Silver Trail and celebrates a culinary legend of Saxony.

    The story behind it:

    The statue commemorates the close connection between mining and Saxon baking traditions. Eierschecke is a cake with a deep tradition in Saxony (and especially in Freiberg).
