    Paddle wheel
    Artist: Georg Ettl, 1995
    "Healing the earth" was the motto of the State Garden Show in Grevenbroich 1995. Ettl's bucket wheel is modeled on the excavator wheel used in lignite mining. Instead of steel shovels, human heads eat their way into the ground to show that humans themselves are massively intervening in nature via the machine. The sculpture “paddle wheel” became the central symbol of the Grevenbroich State Garden Show, which attracted a million visitors. The more than five meter high work of art was extensively restored on the initiative of the tourist association in 2019 with donations and funds.

      This sculpture was created by the artist Anneliese Langenbach. The former mayor Hans Gottfried Bernrath gave the figure to the people of Wevelinghoven when he turned 60.

        Sculpture Schaefer on the pasture by Anneliese Langenbach in Grevenbroich-Wevelinghoven,
        The clay sculpture is reminiscent of the occupation of the shepherd and here especially of a shepherd family based in Wevelinghoven. The terracotta group consists of the shepherd, four sheep and a herding dog and was financed by donations for the 60th birthday of the then mayor and Wevelinghoven resident Hans Gottfried Bernrath (1927-2010). The shepherd's face is modeled on the member of the Bundestag, chairman of the board of the Federal Agency for Post and Telecommunications and the last honorary mayor of the city of Grevenbroich.
