    The larger-than-life statue of "Mother Earth" is enthroned on a stone pedestal on the south side of the castle ruins. The imposing work of art was commissioned by Eberhard Freiherr von Gemmingen-Hornberg. The bronze statue, which embodies down-to-earthness and the connection between heaven and earth, was created by the sculptor Engelbert Süss from Pfreimd.

      Very nice big statue of "Mother Earth"
      You can find it behind the Weißenstein castle ruins, so be sure to go around!
