At Colongne cathedral it is/was a scaffold for construction works that was attached to the towers and was moved along the proceding of the restauration.
Attached to the Lamberti church Münster are three human sized cages which displayed the remains of the executed leaders of the Anabaptists after the 16th century uprising.

Wow, the engineering on that scaffolding must’ve been pretty interesting.
Essentially cantilivered loads but balanced by the opposing side.
I’d love to see a 3D graphic of it from an oblique angle - like a CAD wireframe.
The building likely has put holes for scaffolding, most older stone buildings do for pointing and service.
Oh, cool, TIL!
