After Bern

At the end of the street where we stayed in Bern there's a fountain. It depicts an ogre eating babies. Around the bottom of the ogre's pillar there are armoured bears. Based on our combined knowledge of fairy tales and legends, over a pan of röschti at a restaurant near the fountain, we foundered for a back story, figuring that this must be a depiction of some local legend. It seems that nobody actually knows.

I like babies, but...

The bold bears of Bern
We wandered down to the münster. At least their biblical story depictions are easier to guess.

The mechanoid creatures over the window are alien parasites mentioned in the Lost Gospel of Ridley
Each pane depicts an episode in the grim afterlife of St Calavera
