As part of the project "Trees experience history - trees tell history", Jewgenij Sidorkin (also spelled Evgeny or Yevgeniy) carved ten two-meter-tall wooden figures, which have been enhancing the Dölauer Heide since April 2013. Each figure is based on a legend.

The old tuber
There once lived a fat farmer called “olle Knolle” on the edge of the forest
the Dölauer Heath. He lived alone in a little old hut and he
was lonely and sick. When he was still young, he had an accident in one
Quarry where he worked. Since then he has had no job or any
family more, because his wife had died a long time ago. Out of
He drank more and more grief and became more and more angry.
One day he was walking home drunk from the bar and met
on the forest spirit. When he persuaded him to stop drinking
stop, the old tuber scolded him and hit him
a. As a punishment, the forest spirit turned him into a tree. Since
He stands as sober as a tree and repents of his crime.

If something is on the side of the road, you won't see it right away.
