It looks like the tree trunk with the sculpture has rotted away or was forcibly torn from the screw connection. In any case, it is a few meters below on the slope.

The sculpture is now on the hillside and probably fell victim to the last autumn storm.

Witches were burned on the Hexenköpfle in the Middle Ages. A sculpture carved from an entire tree trunk commemorates the innocent women who fell victim to this superstition.
