Wall Stories

UPPER Bavaria, which means the south parts of the state, is famous for its external wall-murals on homes, businesses and civic buildings.
This lüftlmalerei often has a religious or local-trade theme, and Rottach-Egern, where the Tegernsee Senioren Cup is being held, has its fair share.
Humour is not a common motif, which makes this example rather rare
Saint Christopher carrying the infant Jesus across a river
Young couples enjoying a boat trip, presumably on Tegernsee
Sundials are popular, although this one is on a sheltered west-facing wall, which makes it of limited practical use

Agricultural subjects
Another depiction of St Christopher shouldering the infant Jesus
Hauling timber
Hunting and fishing
