Look closely at the lady...-
She's spinning!😉
The origin goes back to a legend:
During the 12th century, Bullay was a free imperial city with its own jurisdiction, its own laws and its own folk customs. Later, Bullay was the seat of the Counts Zank and the residence of the Counts Beisel. According to legend, the counts lived in luxury until they were almost bankrupt in the 16th century and all the counts' coffers were empty. All hope therefore rested on the young count's son, Count Beisel, who wanted to marry a well-off knight's maiden. Traditionally, the count's son was responsible for financing the bridal gown and the celebration. Since the count's son could not afford this, the following compromise was made:
The bride's father agreed to finance the bridal gown and the celebration if he received an entire vineyard from the count in return. This exchange made a lavish celebration possible. As part of the ceremony, the bride's father gave the vineyard back and formulated a well-thought-out condition: the entire proceeds from this Brautrock vineyard would go to the daughter and serve as a support for her in the event that the count's son led a life as extravagant as his father, Count Beisel. This is how the vineyard's name Brautrock came about.
