The sculpture of the "Wooden Man" in the forest above Rösberg was created in the mid-1980s by a local carver named Cader, who also made nativity figures, for example. With this work on the Villewald of the foothills he also wanted (according to local tradition) to create a figurative counterpart to the "Iron Man" in the Kottenforst (towards Buschhoven), which is much more famous and much older. The year 1996, which can be seen at the foot of the sculpture, probably refers to a general overhaul/renovation of the "Wooden Man".

The wooden man is an elaborately designed, nice work of art made of wood and represents a kind of forest goblin! Worth seeing!
