Mounted at the fassade of the protected monument located in the Glockengasse 1 you will find this old sign. It is handcrafted of rought iron and shows a elephant in some kind of boat. Below a plastic sign with the letters "Kunstgewerbe Anschütz" is pinned.
Cause the infos from the protected monument site we think, the sign was former for the pharmacy, which was closed in 1980.
