A #minimalist #sculpture on a café's façade in #Quedlinburg for #MinimalismMonday.

The street, #Finkenherd (literally "finch hearth", though its meaning is closer to "finch trap"), is famous for its half-timbered houses. The Café am Finkenherd occupies three of these historic buildings.

According to legend, Henry the Fowler, Duke of Saxony and father of our famous Otto The Great, was trapping birds here when he was told he was to be king – centuries before the houses were built, of course. He was crowned king of East Francia in 919, the first non-Frankish king no less.
