“An Gottes Segen, ist alles gelegen” (Everything depends on God's blessing). When walking through one of the best-preserved medieval towns of Germany, you come across this saying. Or: “Wer auf Gott vertrawt, der hat woll gebowt” (Who trusts in God, acts wisely). Where do these religious texts come from?
