Unehrenhaft, aber dringend notwendig

Nachtkönig und Hundschlachter wird der Wasenmeister genannt. Keine ehrbare Frau lässt sich mit ihm blicken, einer Zunft darf er nicht angehören. Auf den Straßen sorgt er einst für Sauberkeit.

Der Gerber ging vorzugsweise am Wasser, in Amberg zum Beispiel in der Lederergasse, seinem Handwerk nach. Dort ist heute noch ein Zunftzeichen angebracht.
