The Schwabentor is one of the only two remaining old city entrances of the fortified city of Freiburg. It is a beautiful tower with a special architecture that lets you into the city center. From here you can walk into the center to all the shopping streets. It is a beautiful building with the painting that depicts the legend of Schwaben. With its merchant carrying barrels full of money to buy the city of Freiburg. The idea was not only absurd but even funnier when they found out his wife secretly took the money and replaced it with sand and stones 😂

Historisches Tor der alten Stadtmauer von Freiburg. Sehr gut erhalten und imposant. Unbedingt hingehen und ansehen.

The gate tower built around 1250 was originally open towards the inside of the city and was only enclosed with a stone wall in 1547. In 1572 Matthias Schwäri painted a picture of a merchant with a cart on the inner wall. In the 19th century, this picture sparked a legend about a Swabian man who came to Freiburg with two barrels full of gold to buy the town. He was ridiculed, especially after it turned out that the barrels only contained sand and pebbles. Before his departure, his wife had secretly replaced the gold with a worthless filling.

La Schwabentor, una de las dos antiguas puertas de la ciudad que aún se mantienen en pie en Friburgo, es mucho más que un simple monumento histórico. Es como el guardián de la ciudad, con su imponente estructura y su torre que parece salida de un cuento medieval. Pero lo más divertido de esta puerta es la historia que la acompaña, que es todo un "tonto y su dinero" versión medieval.

Cuenta la leyenda que un pobre hombre, un tanto ingenuo, decidió que quería comprar Friburgo entero. ¡Nada menos! Animado por la idea de convertirse en el dueño de la ciudad, reunió todo su "dinero" en barriles y se dirigió a la Schwabentor. Pero, aquí viene el truco: su astuta esposa, probablemente cansada de sus delirios de grandeza, llenó los barriles no con oro, sino con simples piedras. El pobre hombre, sin darse cuenta, se presentó ante los ciudadanos de Friburgo con sus barriles de “oro”, listo para cerrar el trato del siglo.

La sorpresa debió ser mayúscula cuando se descubrió que el pretendiente a magnate había traído piedras en lugar de riquezas. Y así, en lugar de ganar la ciudad, se ganó un lugar en las leyendas locales como el hombre que intentó comprar Friburgo con rocas.

Y lo mejor es que esta historia no se ha perdido en el tiempo. Si pasas por la Schwabentor, encontrarás un dibujo en la torre que ilustra la divertida anécdota, como un recordatorio de que incluso en tiempos medievales, las apariencias engañan. Así que, si algún día te sientes muy seguro de un gran negocio, recuerda al pobre tipo de la Schwabentor y asegúrate de que tus barriles están llenos de algo más valioso que...
