C	Con Stroulios on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Stock im Eisen - "staff in iron", is the midsection of a tree-trunk from the Middle Ages, a so-called nail-tree, sits on the corner here behind a glass case for protection, interesting history hundreds of years old.
N	Natalie Kruzz on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Very cool piece of history: a midsection of a tree trunk covered in nails. Easily overlooked.

S	Shane Dunne on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ “Thousands of people walk past it every day, but only a few will notice the glass case mounted at the corner of Kärtnerstraße and the Graben. Inside the case is a tree trunk from the Middle Ages, held in place by an iron clasp and padlock. The tree is studded with hundreds of nails that were pounded into it for good luck over centuries. One legend says that a young locksmith sold his soul to the devil to become a great craftsman, and in return he would construct a lock that no key could open, to secure the last tree standing at the Stephansplatz. In reality, no key can open the lock…because it’s only decorative and contains no mechanism.”
