Mammelokker

Above the door, you see a slightly erotic image: You see a squatted man sucking the breast of a woman. The man with the beard is Simon who lived somewhere in Greece in the past. He was considered as one of the leaders of a riot against the king.
For his act, he was condemned to starvation.

The only privilege he had was to have one daily visitor in the cell. Simon got each day a visit of his daughter "Pero". Ofcourse, the guards checked if she didn't smuggle food inside, but they never found something. Nevertheless, the man kept on being alive, even after several weeks.

The guards decided to peek through the keyhole, and they saw the scene represented above. The daughter, who just became a mother, was breastfeeding her father. The king, moved by the tale, decided to let Simon free.

For the locals, this story is called the "mammelokker", which is the local dialect for the "breast-sucker".
