Hiking

At the suggestion of the sculptor Hans Günther Thiele, the "Gottschalk sculptures" were made and erected here in June 1996 as part of a federal conference of the German stonemasons and stone carvers. They symbolize a sequence from the work of the monk Gottschalk von Limburg, who lived in the 11th century.

A Limburg monk was called Gottschalk von Limburg, and he was a hymn poet. The sculptor Hans Günther Thiele created these sculptures in honor of this monk.
