A tableware sculpture based on the following fairy tale:

"Dwarfs once lived in the interior of the mountain. They often came [...] to Thiede,
approached people kindly for bread and were very grateful. Often
they knocked on the gates of the nearby Steterburg monastery and asked for it
some white bread and gave the helpful nuns some finely crafted ones
Veil and handkerchief.

The dwarfs particularly enjoyed newborn children. These took
they often secretly from the cradle and only brought them back months or years later. The worried villagers therefore asked where women have recently given birth
were located, guards off. But since they often slept when the dwarfs were doing their job
carried out, they finally hung crosses on the door handles in front of which the dwarfs
reversed.

The dwarfs in the Lindenberg did a lot of good for the people in the village and helped them
their daily work and often brought food and drink to the poor and needy. Was
a baptism or some other festival and the peasant people lacked bowls and plates,
Knives and forks, the dwarfs were always ready to help out: only asked
they then return the dishes and tablecloths clean. Once they got the dishes
polluted back, then the Thieder dwarfs disappeared and were not
seen more. "
