In 1937 the city placed the 4.5 m tall statue "Torch Bearer" by Hermann Scheuertstuhl (1894-1982) on the 18 m high pillar that had already been erected for the inauguration of the Maschsee. Nazi art heroized "health" and "strength". The naked figure posted on a ball refers to the Hitler salute and the Olympic flame, which was first carried by the Olympics to the Games in 1936. The "Victory Column" took over the construction of the lake and glorified the Nazi state with the inscription on the base. In 1945 the swastika was knocked out.
