Updated: 4:12 p.m. ET Feb. 06, 2004BERLIN - A Friesian cow took a detour 
from a wedding where she was meant to be a guest of honor, wandering into a 
German bank where she was caught on security cameras sidling up to the 
tellers.



Top German newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung on Friday published four 
robber-style photos of the cow, named Paula, strolling into the Sparkasse 
savings bank in Wunstorf, a small rural town in northern Germany.

“The cow entered, made an elegant turn and walked right back out,” a bank 
spokeswoman said. “It was an extraordinary experience, but it was over very 
quickly.”

The cow was supposed to be taking part in a nearby wedding ceremony when it 
wandered into the bank. When farmers in the rural region marry, the new 
bride traditionally milks a cow to prove her skills in the homestead 
economy.
