    Memorial stone for Till Eulenspiegel, who allegedly died in 1350, in an outside niche of the church of St. Nicolai in the historic old town of the Eulenspiegel town of Mölln. The stone is said to have been turned; the design of the current outside dates from the 16th century and shows the rogue with the artifacts that give him his name: in one hand he holds a mirror, in the other an owl.

      This is located in a niche in the tower of the parish church of St. Nicolai.

      The council commissioned it in 1544. The unknown sculptor used the back of a Marian stele made of Gotland limestone.

      The figure of the fool was originally painted green, red and yellow. The sculptor took the Middle Low German inscription from a predecessor from the 15th century without understanding the rhymes.

      This older "tombstone" is described in the book by "Thyl Vlenspiegel" - it only showed an owl and a mirror. Its existence was confirmed by a traveler in 1536. The preserved stone bears the inscription:

        Interesting stone that looks like the gravestone of Eulenspiegel, who is said to have slid vertically into the grave during his funeral and thus played a final prank.
