Painting on house wall in Halbersberg

Approximate translation:

We, humans, build houses

~neat and pretty~

and live in them only as guests.

And there where we are for eternity

we bring little with us.

The 6 house "hamlet" of Halbersberg has a wonderful view of the Basilica & Abbey of Ottobeuren. As I was about to take the photo, the owner came out to collect the post. I thought I should explain what I was doing & got chatting to the elderly lady in her garden surrounded by her chickens. I asked her if she wanted a cock as we have one too many - she replied she couldn't keep a cock anymore as her neighbour, an egg farmer, had complained!
Sounds like a case where someone buys a house next to a church & then complains about the bells, only in this case the person is the vicar!

So now my wife has to go to the Sunday "small animal market" in Buchloe tomorrow & hopefully be able to give "Stefan", the cock, away. He started fighting with his dad "Sepp" last week & now it's getting bloody. We thought with 16 hens, they would be able to get on peacefully but it didn't work out. "The Pot" is not an option for us, even though it's the most sensible.
