Fenstergucker

und Detail des Kanzelfußes im Stephansdom in Wien. Wer diese vielbewunderte Domkanzel geschaffen und sich hier in einem Selbstbildnis verewigt hat, ist umstritten.

Ihr seht die Kanzel auf diesem Foto ganz links: flic.kr/p/VugVdb

Detail of the famous pulpit in St. Stephen's Cathedral. "Beneath the stairs is one of the most beloved symbols of the cathedral: a stone self-portrait of the unknown sculptor gawking (German: gucken) out of a window (German: fenster) and thus famously known as the Fenstergucker. The chisel in the subject's hand, and the stonemason's signature mark on the shield above the window led to the speculation that it could be a self-portrait of the sculptor." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Stephen%27s_Cathedral,_Vienna
