    I did not know that the sculpture was by Peter Lenk. He also created the Imperia at the port of Constance.
    To the pig wrote the artist: "Frederick II (...) mocked the Elector Palatine Karl Theodor as" lazy guy and lucky pig, which inherited more lands than he himself conquered. "If this cattle but wanted to die, that would be good luck for all of Germany. "(...) Karl Theodor was (...) a true forerunner of:" make love not war ":
    He may have thought better of a lucky pig in the boudoir than on a warhorse. "

      Sculpture for the 1250th birthday of Schwetzingen. Built in 2016 by Peter Lenk. It shows the Elector Carl-Theodor riding behind his muse sitting on a mother sow. Typically Lenk - an eye-catcher that conjures passersby a smile in the face.

        I love the lucky pig. And I do not necessarily feel derogatory towards the elector. Better to promote art than to start war.
