Here, at the fork of Gänsefuß and Prießnitztalstraße, stands the monument to the painter and writer Guido Hammer (1821 to 1898), who was a frequent visitor to Heidemühle. The granite stone in his honor is decorated with a portrait medallion and the inscription "Dedicated to the excellent depicter of the German forest, Guido Hammer. * February 4, 1821 – † January 24, 1898."

Born in Dresden on February 4, 1821, the youngest son of Friedrich August Hammer (1785-1855), accounting secretary at the Royal Ministry of the Interior, Guido Hammer showed an early aptitude for hunting. As a schoolboy, he rushed to the Dresden Heath to eavesdrop on the lively animal life in the quiet forest solitude and to practice trapping as a youth. (Read about it in "Die Gartenlaube," vol. 1898, issue 4.) Guido Hammer's wish to learn the hunting trade was not fulfilled. His father, also on the advice of his eldest son, the writer Julius Hammer (1810-1862), recommended that he, Guido Hammer, become a painter because of his talent for drawing and, after attending high school, apply for art studies.
