    Stainless steel ostrich watches over the city entrance
    The work of art "Vogel Strauß" created by the artist, Sabine Mädl, was installed at a prominent place, the roundabout. Inspired by the head of an iron-eating ostrich in the helmet decoration of the gentlemen of Heideck, the Vogel Strauß now stands at the entrance to the old town.

      Mädl describes the bouquet and thus her work for Heideck with the attributes "down-to-earthness, vigilance, speed, balance and fighting power". He steps through circles and open circular arcs, which can also be found in the surrounding roundabout the expanse, just as Heideck grew from a tightly walled city to a cosmopolitan, expanding city.

      The work of art costs around 40,000 euros, 60 percent of which is funded by urban development funding. The city of Heideck must therefore finance approx. 16,000 euros from its own funds. In addition, there will be costs for the foundation, lighting and planting, which will also be funded.
