In the past, night watchmen walked the streets of Chur. They maintained peace and order in the Graubünden capital. The iron pitch pan, mounted on the outriggers above the painting, served to collect the liquid pitch.
Thus, this house wall on Süsswinkelgasse recalls times when the night watchmen shouted their verses through the dark city: "I'm now on the night watch, God bless us all a good night..."
