The Seven Ravens Wooden Sculptures

A great round with children and fairy tale guessing. There is always a short version of the fairy tale on the sign. A QR code takes you to the long version of the fairy tale. Most fairy tales also have a bench. So you can read in peace.

This is a station on the Brothers Grimm Fairy Tale Trail.

The main motif of the fairy tale, the redemption of the enchanted brothers by their only sister, can be found in a whole series of fairy tales, including Basile's fairy tale The Seven Doves, the Grimm fairy tales The Six Swans and The Twelve Brothers, and The Wild Swans by Hans Christian Andersen. The birds here probably represent the damnation of souls, the long journey the girl has to go, the guilt that was burdened upon her at birth (see the search hike). The glass mountain stands on the one hand for invincibility, and on the other hand for clarity (transparent): the girl knows "crystal clear" what she has to do, and by chopping off a finger she is a sacrifice.
