에센스 주변 최고의 도시 하이킹 & 워킹 코스

Six figures can be seen on the facade of the listed residential building on Jücherstrasse, known as the "Dollhouse." According to legend, they come from the tomb of Walpurgis von Rietberg.

When the town of Esens was besieged by enemy troops in the Middle Ages, a traveling musician and his dancing bear happened to be within the walls. The fighting lasted for a long time, but the town, fortified with walls, ditches, and city gates, defied all attacks. The enemy attempted to starve the town out. When the need was at its greatest and surrender was only a matter of hours, the imprisoned bear accidentally broke free, climbed the tower of a city gate, roaring with hunger, and threw stones around. The enemy mistakenly concluded that the people of Esens still had enough provisions to feed even a bear. They broke off the siege, and the town was saved. In gratitude, the bear became the town's heraldic animal.

The Bear in the City Coat of Arms When the city of Esens was once again besieged by enemy troops in the Middle Ages, a traveling musician and his dancing bear were within the walls. The fighting lasted for a long time, but the city, fortified with walls, ditches, and city gates, defied all attacks. The enemy therefore shifted its focus to cutting off supply routes and attempting to starve the city out. When the need was at its greatest and surrender was only a matter of hours, the previously imprisoned bear accidentally freed itself, climbed the tower of a city gate, roaring with hunger, and threw stones around. The enemy drew the false conclusion that the people of Esens still had enough provisions to feed even a bear. They broke off the siege, and the city was saved. As a token of gratitude, the bear became Esens's heraldic animal. Simply beautiful everywhere in the city you can find the bears

When the town of Esens was once again besieged by enemy troops in the Middle Ages, a traveling musician and his dancing bear were inside the walls. The fighting lasted for a long time, but the town, fortified with walls, ditches and city gates, defied all attacks. The opponents therefore switched to cutting off the supply routes and tried to starve the town out. When the need was at its greatest and capitulation was only a matter of a few hours, the bear that had been imprisoned until then accidentally broke free, climbed onto the tower of a city gate, roaring with hunger, and threw stones around. The enemies drew the wrong conclusion that the people of Esens had enough provisions to be able to feed even a bear. They broke off the siege; the town was saved. In gratitude for this, the bear became the heraldic animal of Esens.

Very nice place with a beautiful market square, nice places to stop for a casual stroll and the bears throughout the city that are well worth seeing.

Unfortunately, there was no water in the fountain when I visited.
