This beautifully illustrated chart depicts a scene from the cow on the wall one of the tales in Die Schiltbürger.The Schildburgers are the citizens of the fictitious German city Schilda, and the accounts of their exploits and deeds were first published in 1598, under the title Die Schiltbürger. Essentially, they are a reflection of the folly of bureaucracy and of incompetent leaders, showing that these are a timeless feature that endures through the centuries. The Schildburgers’ foolish town council features prominently in the numerous stories about them, which include the take from which this charts illustration is taken. The cow on the wall: The Schildburgers noticed that there was a rich growth of grass on top of an old stone wall. To ensure that it would not go to waste, they led a cow to the wall, a rope tied around her neck, threw the rope over the wall, and began to heave. As the cow was being strangled, its tongue came out, and the burgers delighted: ‘See how it yearns for the grass!’ By the time they had hauled the cow to the top of the wall it was dead.
