The Three Wise Men Sculptures (Die Drei Weisen) at Wieck Mole

The Hamburg sculptor Johannes Speder made the three wooden heads during the first international wood sculpture symposium in Greifswald in 1996. The artists' meeting was organized by the Wieck sculptor Heinrich Zenichowski.
Two years later, the Hanseatic city of Greifswald bought the three-part work and had it installed on the sculpture path in Wieck. “The Three Wise Men”, which initially shone in the colors white, yellow and blue, became the trademark of the pier.
But over the years the sculptures deteriorated and eventually fell into disrepair. Now their creator has restored the wooden heads. Speder cleaned the sculptures, repaired damaged areas and finally oiled them to protect them from the weather. Today the work on the “Utkiek” restaurant is presented in a natural wooden outfit.
