Frankenburg Dice Game

The Frankenburg Dice Game (in German: Frankenburger Würfelspiel) in 1625 was the prelude to the Upper Austrian Peasants' War and took place against the historical background of the Counter-Reformation. The event took place in Haushamerfeld in Pfaffing, which at that time belonged to the county of Frankenburg. The name "dice game" originated in the 19th century. The dice in the local coat of arms Pfaffing symbolise this event.
