    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.

    Silver Figure: Eierschecke Bakers at the City Wall in Freiberg.

    Info:

    It tells the following story: Due to the high demand for quark (a type of soft cheese) for the city wall, the bakers lacked it to bake their cakes. The quark was replaced with a mixture of eggs, sugar, and raisins – and thus, the Freiberg Eierschecke was invented.

    A silver tour leads through the silver city of Freiberg. Eleven larger-than-life silver figures connect Freiberg's sights in the medieval old town.
