On the old Main Bridge in Würzburg, 12 saints have stood carved in stone for 285 years. What many visitors strolling across this bridge during the day, and even most locals, do not know is that the bridge saints leave their pedestals at night to stretch their legs after standing for so long. Kurt Egreder brings the 12 saints on the old Main Bridge in Würzburg to life on a lively night as they step down from their pedestals. After many events on the nighttime bridge and even in the heavens, the chaos resolves itself just in time for sunrise the next morning. Alongside this, historical facts such as the creation of the old Main Bridge and the biographies of the bridge saints are woven into the text. For those who cross the old Main Bridge in the future, the saints will no longer be anonymous figures but friends to whom one casts a glance and names in thought as they pass by. And for those with enough imagination, they will see that one or another of the bridge saints responds with a wink. However, for anyone who finds it hard to part with Franconian wine at night and only heads home after one o'clock, it is advisable to be very, very quiet starting from the Four-Tube Fountain. Because perhaps... Yes, you guessed it.
