The history of the weather vane goes way back in time and is both practical and symbolic. Originally, it was used as a simple instrument to show the direction of the wind, which was important for farmers, sailors and craftsmen, among others. In the Middle Ages, the weathervane gained a special place on church spires - often in the form of a rooster - where it not only showed the direction of the wind, but also served as a reminder of the biblical story of the Apostle Peter's denial of Jesus. This symbolic significance helped the rooster become an integral part of church architecture.

Over time, the design evolved from a simple arrow to more ornate figures, often made of metal or wood, and the weathervane became a decorative element on churches, courtyards and public buildings. In addition to its practical function, it also became a symbol of the changing seasons and the ever-changing nature. Today, the weathervane is primarily seen as a cultural-historical and aesthetic element that recalls the craft traditions and symbolic meanings of the past.
