井盖 在Stadtlohn, 07, Germany

这幅图像描绘了使徒保罗的头像。据德国维基百科页面所述，他的胡须头像在盖子上出现三次，这与该镇昔日的徽章有关。 该徽章原本由洛恩领主的三个鸟形图案组成。17世纪时，这些鸟形图案被明斯特教区的主保圣人保罗的头像所取代。这一设计巧妙地运用了与保罗相关的传说之一。 据传，当他奉尼禄皇帝之命被斩首时，他的头颅在地面上弹跳了三次。在头颅弹跳的每个位置，都涌出了清澈见底的泉水。

The image depicts the head of the Apostle Paul. The fact that his bearded head appears three times on the lid is linked to the town’s former coat of arms, according to this German Wikipedia page. That coat of arms consisted of the three birds of the Lords of Lohn. In the seventeenth century, the birds were replaced by the head of Paul, the patron saint of the Diocese of Münster. Clever use was made of one of the legends associated with Paul. When he was beheaded on the orders of Emperor Nero, his head bounced three times on the ground. Springs of crystal-clear water sprang up at the points where it bounced.
