Mother with Children by Else Montag (Kurt-Schumacher-Platz, Bergkamen)

Art where you wouldn't expect it in the former miners' settlement

"... A marble group of figures, a woman with three small children, can be seen on Kurt-Schumacher-Platz, which originally served as a fountain belonged to this metallurgical company from July 1952 to 1956. The same figures stand in two factory settlements: the so-called “Maxhütte” in Sulzbach-Rosenberg and Maxhütte-Haidhof in the Upper Palatinate.
The artist Else Montag commented on her work at the time with the following words: “Even if the artist's language finds its expression through the eye through the hand, I can also say something in words about how the work on the fountain fills me Has! Beauty, sublimity, aesthetics, mother and care are an indissoluble unit and should find their expression in the fountain made of Untersberg marble. "..."

The sculpture “Mother with Child” on Kurt-Schumacher-Platz could be restored; unfortunately, it looks very dirty :O(
