        The bronze sculpture "Ütruper" (crier) was created by Reinhard Maria Bongartz.
        "Reinhard Maria Bongartz was born on November 16, 1914 in Sonsbeck. After leaving school in Issum, he first learned the painting trade from his father. He then attended the arts and crafts school in Krefeld low.
        His favorite motifs were Lower Rhine landscapes and portraits. Bongartz became known especially for his church paintings in fresco, sgraffito and mosaic. He created more than 50 Stations of the Cross at home and abroad.
        He became widely known on the Lower Rhine through his "Galerie B 58" in a mill in Issum. In the last years of his life he embellished the town of Issum with several bronze sculptures: the "Sijwäwer" (silk weaver), the group "an de Pomp" ( at the pump) and the "Ütruper" (crier).
        Bongartz died in Wassenberg on February 28, 1994."
