Description
Lappi is a common word in Switzerland, which means "Fool"
At the entrance gate of the villa "Charlottenfels Palace", erected in the 19th century by the wealthy entrepreneur of the watch empire Heinrich Moser, who had built up his empire in Russia, pranged a Russian inscription, which, if translated into Swiss dialect, means as much as Lappi mach d'Augen uf ( Open the Eyes, Fool ).
In 1935 after this saying was submitted by the artist Arnold Oechslin, who was inspired by the inscription at the Villa Charlottenfels, it has been selected by the town councilor of Schaffhausen, to gracefully decorate the northern gate of the Schwabentor in the town of Schaffhausen, since the whole tower After a fire of 1932 had to be redesigned!
This expression became the winged sentence and is used when someone does not see something that is right in front of his nose.
