How did the Blosengelmarkt get its name?

The late Fidl Schurig, a Feldkirch man with heart and soul, gave his name to today's Blosengelmarkt. According to stories told by Fidl Schurig, the market owes its name to a sketch he "threw down" of an angel with a trumpet - in other words, a blowing angel. This sketch from back then is also the basis for the advertising campaign and so the likeable version of the "Ur-Blosengel" smiles from the posters.
