    The sculpture "Turmspringer" from 2011 comes from the artist Andreas Helmling. It is located on a former rifleman's house, which looks similar to a raised hide and which the artist has redesigned.

    The divers with their curved bodies reminded me of Cretan bull divers.

      Interesting sculpture on the vineyard tower.

        Tower diver by Andreas Heimling 2011
        The Palatinate artist's High Divers, over two meters tall, almost two-dimensional steel sculptures, do not show realistic replicas of women's bodies. The outlines are angular, the surfaces appear like a web of triangles. Despite the rigid lines, they appear graceful and athletic in their unusual movement, fixed in a snapshot of the jump. The comparatively complex high stand with balcony now has a new function as an overall installation, showing it not as a defense against starlings, but as a stepping stone "into a sea of vines and wine".
