Teufelstritt, Sculpture at Frauenkirche entrance, Munich, Germany
The black footprint mark on the floor of the Frauenkirche entrance hall shows a visible human-sized impression that draws numerous visitors daily.
Dating from the 15th century, this black mark emerged during the construction of Frauenkirche when builders completed the Gothic cathedral despite supernatural interference.
German folklore maintains that the devil stamped his foot in anger upon discovering the church builders had included windows in their design.
Located in the Altstadt-Lehel district, visitors can access this stone marking through the main entrance of Frauenkirche during regular church hours.
The footprint contains a curious second toe mark pointing backward, suggesting an unusual direction of movement in the stone pattern.
