Wo der Teufel seine Krallen gewetzt hat

Wer rund um die Basilika St. Martin in Amberg geht, wird ein paar erstaunliche Dinge entdecken. Erbaut ist sie im Stil der sächsischen Bergmannsgotik. Grabsteine erinnern an verdiente Bürger. Und was hat es mit den Riefen im Mauerwerk auf sich?

Das Eingangsportal von St. Martin (Marktplatzseite), daneben das ursprüngliche Portal mit den Kopien der Verkündigungsgruppe und dem Klopfer-Epitaph. Zwischen einstigem und jetzigem Portal findet sich die Mauerfuge.
