The group of sculptures by Cloppenburg artist Peter Lehmann recalls an event from 1929:
A castrated boar - a so-called Eberborg - was seized from a debtor and was sold to cover the tax debts. As a sign of solidarity in times of economic need, a group of farmers kidnapped the boar that had already been sold from the stable of the new owner and brought it back to its previous owner.
Worth seeing in the city center of Cloppenburg.
