Sculpture: a woman and a miner

The miner monument with the onion woman is on the southern part of the Breiter Teich in Borna on Sachsenallee. It was built in the 1970s and was a testament to socialist commissioned art in the GDR.

Two muscular, lightly dressed people are shown. The Onion Woman carries onions in her apron. The miner is identified by his pickaxe, helmet with mallet and iron symbolism, and pieces of coal in his left hand.

As a testament to socialist commissioned art in the GDR, the work has contemporary and art historical significance. In addition, it symbolizes Borna's identity and economic history by spanning the pre-industrial and 19th century.

The field gardening that characterized the century (onion cultivation, “onion borna”) ranges from the more recent and industrially operated brown coal industry.
