Pettstadter Schmied Monument
Highlight • Monument
Around the turn of the century, the master blacksmith Sebastian Schubert, who lived in Pettstadt, is said to have once not complied with the request of a police patrol (to leave the pub at a late hour), but instead replied:
I'll do it the way I want!"
He found a lenient judge in the Royal Bavarian District Court in Bamberg: The lawyer could not see any offensive or rebellious behavior and acquitted the defendant.
Over time, this developed into a popular saying, and since then - at least in Upper Franconia - you have heard it whenever it comes to someone deciding or acting as they see fit:
"Do it like the Pettstadt blacksmith".
