Relief of a rider with a wine glass from 1716 to commemorate the bone tusk uprising of 1384 at Königstrasse 9 in Lübeck. According to legend, it was the rider who betrayed the uprising (unknown sculptor)

The bone-hewn uprising was an attempt to overthrow the guilds in September 1384 in the German Hanseatic city of Lübeck , which was directed against the city council. He was led by Hinrik Paternostermaker . The majority of the 60 to 70 conspirators belonged to the craft offices, among them about 30 were bone cutters, as the butchers were called. The conspirators were in alliance with nobles from Holstein. Their aim was to take the members of the Lübeck city council prisoner, if necessary they should be killed. The council had previously discriminated against the guilds for years, while favoring the merchants . However, the uprising was betrayed the day before its scheduled date, September 17, 1384. The 19 people involved, who did not manage to escape from Lübeck, were executed.
