Long Description:
There is a legend of the 17th century, when Rheinfelden was under
siege by Swedish troups. When all the food reserves were exhausted,
a small tailor killed the last goat and dressed himself with its
fur, then walked around the town walls making baas. So the Swedish
believed it would take to long when the inhabitants still could
feed up their cattle so fat and took off.
