East choir, monkey capital

Two monkeys sit at the table and play chess. Legend has it that the last Catholic bishop of Naumburg Cathedral, Julius Pflug, said in the 16th century:
“Before this church finally becomes Lutheran, my two pets will play chess.”

When he came home one day, he found his two monkeys playing. In fact, Julius Pflug was not only the last Catholic but also the last bishop of Naumburg.

Despite the “beautiful” legend, it should be noted that this capital was created with the expansion of the East Choir in the 14th century.
