At the beginning of December 1783, Giacomo and Francesco Casanova, travelling in their own coach, hired post-horses belonging to my ancestor Johannes Eckart, Thurn und Taxis postmaster of Emskirchen. Presumably they warmed themselves at the poststation and talked to him... The "Alte Post Golden Stag" in Emskirchen is regarded as Germany's best-preserved 18th century posting inn (cf. historical pictures and more information about Johannes Eckart here at part VIII). - Photo: PG.
