      Here you can visit the sculpture "Peasant Sacrifice". On a 40 m² chess board there are chess pieces as well as standing and lying human figures. The sculpture addresses the low value of the individual in the Baroque period. The suffering populace - whether actively participating in the war or not - represents the pawn sacrifice made to the gambits of the rulers.

        An art installation on the Eppinger Linien near Ochsenburg
        from Wikipedia: In the game of chess, pawn sacrifice is understood as the voluntary surrender of a pawn with the aim of gaining another equivalent or an advantage.
