A meditative walk...... through biblical history, starting with the central figures of the Old Testament, through figures of the New Testament and finally to the Lord of the Second Coming and his family.All in white, in dignified simplicity and embedded in the hilly landscape, the statues invite hikers to linger, to come to terms with their fate and take them to another world.The artist, Otto Waldner (1919-2012), lived with his Korean wife Joo Hwa in Beuerbach and received planning permission for his life's work in 1992. "The Tree of Life", as he called this project, was created in a studio next to the Neumühle and has since become known beyond the country's borders.The 22-meter-high structure, made in several work phases from clay, plaster and polyester, had ten levels. The column itself consisted of 102 parts and unfortunately had to be dismantled after only three years due to the time-limited permit. Now the figures stand in biblical-chronological order behind the Neumühle on the slope and give the area a spiritual atmosphere.
