[1], [2] In Saarbr\u00fccken there once lived a baker who was wealthy \u2013 and a true miser. Even in hard times, when many Saarbr\u00fccken citizens went hungry, he remained hard-hearted and would never hand out bread without payment. One day, he turned away a mother who had begged him for stale bread for her children. In despair, she went to the castle and complained to the Countess of Saarbr\u00fccken.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Countess, who cared deeply for her people, could not believe that a wealthy citizen of Saarbr\u00fccken would act with such a lack of compassion. To see for herself, she disguised herself as a poor woman and humbly begged the baker for a small piece of bread. Yet she, too, was dismissed by the hard-hearted businessman, just like all the beggars before her.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Enraged by his behavior, the Countess had the baker\u2019s head carved in stone as both punishment and warning. It was placed on the castle wall (quay wall) beside the old bridge, where it had to spew the city\u2019s dirty water into the Saar with its wide-open mouth.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-47c5ee9 elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"47c5ee9\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-caffb24\" data-id=\"caffb24\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d294234 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"d294234\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1440\" height=\"960\" src=\"http:\/\/guidogrohmann.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/saarbruecker-geschichten-sage-baecker-guido-grohmann-02.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-8230\" alt=\"The Miserly Baker\" srcset=\"http:\/\/guidogrohmann.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/saarbruecker-geschichten-sage-baecker-guido-grohmann-02.jpg 1440w, http:\/\/guidogrohmann.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/saarbruecker-geschichten-sage-baecker-guido-grohmann-02-300x200.jpg 300w, http:\/\/guidogrohmann.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/saarbruecker-geschichten-sage-baecker-guido-grohmann-02-1024x683.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/guidogrohmann.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/saarbruecker-geschichten-sage-baecker-guido-grohmann-02-768x512.jpg 768w, http:\/\/guidogrohmann.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/saarbruecker-geschichten-sage-baecker-guido-grohmann-02-1400x933.jpg 1400w, http:\/\/guidogrohmann.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/saarbruecker-geschichten-sage-baecker-guido-grohmann-02-800x533.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-edaac95 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"edaac95\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-b63eb46\" data-id=\"b63eb46\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6d17833 elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6d17833\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeIn&quot;,&quot;_animation_delay&quot;:300}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>Facts and fiction<\/h2><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unfortunately, not many of these \u201cfacts\u201d match reality. In 1999, Alfons Kolling decoded the origin, appearance, and function of the grotesque face. [3] But let\u2019s start with what is true: it is true that the grimacing face once hung on the castle wall near the old bridge, and it remained there until the 1960s. At that time, it was removed together with the entire wall. During construction of the city motorway, the entire castle hill was blasted back by up to 17 meters. The current castle wall along Franz-Josef-R\u00f6der-Stra\u00dfe is merely a facing of the blasted rock, partially using stones from the old castle wall.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To call the head a gargoyle is, however, more difficult. Although it resembles a devil\u2019s mask like those used as gargoyles on Gothic cathedrals [4], it is rather unlikely that it ever served such a function. It did indeed hang on the wall near the old bridge \u2013 but directly above the towpath, the footpath along the Saar. Had water ever poured from its mouth, the Saarbr\u00fccken townsfolk walking below would hardly have found it pleasant. It is also improbable that it was ever connected to a drainage system, since the quay and castle wall were about 4.60 meters thick. When the head was restored and examined in the late 1990s, it was found that its interior was not designed to hold a water pipe. Instead, it was clearly constructed as a loophole or observation slit, and can quite clearly be identified as part of Saarbr\u00fccken\u2019s Renaissance castle (the castle that stood before the current building on the Schlossberg).<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The resemblance to devilish grimaces used for centuries as gargoyles, loopholes, or spyholes also suggests that the head is not really meant to represent a baker at all. Its pointed, shaggy, animal-like ears \u2013 more typical of demonic figures (and less of bakers) \u2013 reinforce this. Strictly speaking, the face is not a devil\u2019s mask at all but the depiction of a Silenus, a rotund woodland spirit associated with the god Dionysus. But that is another story.<\/p><h2>From Renaissance Castle to Castle Wall<\/h2><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The open question is how the Renaissance castle\u2019s loophole ended up on the quay wall. As with so much in Saarbr\u00fccken\u2019s history, this involves Prince Wilhelm Heinrich of Saarbr\u00fccken and his star architect Friedrich Joachim Stengel. It is not known who exactly transplanted the head into the quay wall, but Wilhelm Heinrich ordered the demolition of the Renaissance castle, and Stengel carried it out.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether the story of the baker is true remains uncertain. On the internet, Dr. Eckart Sander, citing Professor Dieter Heinz of the HBK Saar, presents strong arguments that the head may indeed have functioned as a gargoyle \u2013 and may have been carved by a Baroque sculptor rather than a Renaissance artist. [5]<\/p><h2>A Survivor of History<\/h2><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Be that as it may: it is almost certainly not a baker. But it is fortunate for Saarbr\u00fccken and its history that the so-called \u201cBaker\u2019s Mask\u201d has survived. After having once been rescued and set into the quay wall, it was saved again during the motorway construction of the 1960s and relocated to its present position in the castle wall \u2013 thanks to an initiative led by Karl Heinz Trautmann, then president of the Saarbr\u00fccken district association. A major donor to the initiative at the time was, fittingly, the Saarbr\u00fccken bakers\u2019 guild.
