The Frauenkirche is the subject of a terrifying legend: The devil himself
is said to have left a footprint at the entrance to the main church. As
with many myths, there are several versions of how the “Teufelstritt”
(literally the devil's footprint) was created.
Fact or fiction, the devil supposedly wanted construction of the church
halted , but agreed to let it continue provided that it would not have
any windows. The builders tricked satan by including windows at an angle
that couldn't be directly viewed from the back of the church. When the
devil found out he had been tricked he supposedly stomped his foot so
hard it left a mark in the marble floor. That footprint is visible near
the entrance to the church.
This is a black mark resembling a footprint, which according to legend
was where the devil stood when he curiously regarded and ridiculed the
'windowless' church that Halsbach had built. #shorts #viral #devilsfootprint #religion #viral #history
