Driefel - Her eyes are closed, she defies the wind and the storm is tearing at her hair: This is how the woman with the two faces rests on the Driefeler Esch at the Sandkuhle in Zetel. All around them are meadows and fields, in the background the stiff breeze causes the wind turbines to rotate - the sculpture entitled "The Black Wind", created by the Italian sculptor Marco Martalar, has found a place on the Driefeler Esch. It is no coincidence that the sculpture is located exactly there.

It all began when a large, old oak tree fell victim to the storm on Jörg Auffahrt and his family's property in Driefel. The tree fell, but that wasn't to be the end. “The family said it was a shame to turn all the wood into firewood. So they offered us the wood for sale quite cheaply,” says Thorsten Schütt. The well-known wood sculptor from Horsten is always looking for materials for his art.
