Ochsenfurt - Red Bridge. "Red Bridge. The name ""Red Bridge"" originated in 1338, when the knight Luitpold, Küchenmeister von Nordenberg, was defeated at the structure by Erkinger von Seinsheim, a bailiff and castle lord. On July 15, 1338, knight Luitpold Küchenmeister von Nordenberg attacks Ochsenfurt, which is on the side of Emperor Louis IV against the papal-minded Bishop Otto II von Wolfskeel. 4.12.1440 In the darkness of the night of St. Barbara's Day, 4.12.1440, Margrave Albrecht Achilles of Brandenburg, who was approaching from Ansbach, attempted to raid the town of Ochsenfurt. Thanks to the vigilance of the ""Türmer"", the worst was prevented. The courageous citizens of Ochsenfurt resisted the attack and forced the attackers to retreat. The fleeing Ansbach mercenaries were overtaken at the Red Bridge and crushed by the brave Ochsenfurt citizens' militia. They also sang mocking verses after the enemy: ""Ei! If only the margrave had stayed at home and driven his pig into the acorn."" These events are recorded on an inscription plaque in Latin in the parish church of St. Andrew. [automated translation]".
