    The sculpture represents an oversized plow. It is 8.50 meters high, 4 meters wide, 6.30 meters long and weighs 25 tons. The sculpture marks the end of the section of the “European Road to Peace”, for which Winner acted as curator. Five sculptures each can be admired at the “Mahner Berg” golf course (including “Swords for Plowshares) and the thermal brine bath, as well as in the neighboring Greifpark / Kurpark. From Winner it is the second work of art on the Sculpture Path, since 2005 his Jacob's ladder has been a little further south.

    A truly dramatic experience.
    In the reconciliation of the neighboring sculptures one could come to the following conclusion:
    The pilot of the spaceship that fell from the sun, moon and stars climbs the ladder to heaven after leaving to be a little closer to his homeland
