Barfüßer Sculpture by Kurt Halbritter

Beautiful art! Here you can also sit on a bench and watch the Nidda flow. Art in itself is a magnet for young children.

The barefoot has exactly two feet. The bronze sculpture, based on a drawing by Kurt Halbritter, is located in the Kurt Halbritter facility in Rödelheim between Solmspark and the blue Niddabrücke.

The cooperation project "Comic Art in the Green Belt" has been promoted since 2006 by the Green Belt project group and the Caricatura Museum Frankfurt. The ideas or templates came from seven artists from the Neue Frankfurter Schule and their surroundings: Robert Gernhardt, Chlodwig Poth, Hans Traxler, F.K. Waechter and F.W. Bernstein as well as Bernd Pfarr and Kurt Halbritter.

Green Belt Project
The barefoot

The artist Kurt Halbritter (1924–1978) lived in Rödelheim for a long time. In 1975 he invented and drew this creature called "pedarius nudus peregrinatorum". It appeared in Kurt Halbritter's "Animal and Plant World" and is one of several objects of comic art in the Green Belt (see also Green Belt Animal by Robert Gernhardt at Bonames' old airfield). The bronze figure was created in 2016 by the sculptor Siegfried Böttcher.
