Vor 50 Jahren: Der "Literaturbaron" als Weidener Nikolaus

Der Obere Markt diente noch als Parkplatz, als die Stadt einen Nikolaus zur Rathaustreppe entsandte. Schon damals war er ungewöhnlich belesen – was ihm später zu einer ganz anderen Karriere verhelfen sollte.

von Ralph Gammanick

Der erste städtische Nikolaus auf der Rathaustreppe: Bernhard M. Baron winkt am 5. Dezember 1972 den Passanten am Oberen Markt zu.
