When I spotted this we turned around and went all the way back to get them, certainly!
From the little leaflet I learned that Heinrich, born in 1130, holds the New Testament in his hand, which he donated to the cathedral.
The book disappeared and was only found again in 1983 - in London!
They got it back for some very whopping 16,5 million - in euro!
They even mention in the leaflet that the real Henry is hidden in castle Dankwarderode (don´t tell the one outside, would make him sad).

In London you say. Methinks there's an interesting story there. :-)
HA!!! There you get me!
Btw... we did as German kids thankfullly not learn about why that small - and little - brown-haired, brown-eyed man with moustache from Austria got such an advantage of the town I chose my home (as an adult - but does that matter).
