Successful construction
One day, when Abbot Benedikt Knittel was examining the construction of the monastery church, he heard a commotion behind him. He turned around and was astonished: A dog, a stag and a doe had followed him from the animal enclosure all the way to the scaffolding. For Abbot Knittel, this was a symbolic event and he took it as a good sign for the successful progress of the construction work. Furthermore, Knittel had his experience recorded for posterity on the upper ledge of the north tower facade.
