    This group of figures of an adult and a child stands on a traffic island in Emmelshausen, not far from the train station (terminus of the Hunsrück railway). The man is PETER PIES, the family was "bone makers" (as it was called back then) for several generations. The sculpture was created in 2008 by Jutta Reiss.

      "The bone-fixer - Mr. Peter Pies and a young patient." Sculpture by the artist Jutta Reiss from 2008 in Emmelshausen

      The Hunsrück bone-fixer family Pies was a family active in the medical profession in the Hunsrück from the early modern period until the end of the 20th century, whose most famous members became known as chiropractors, i.e. "bone-setters." The family still produces many medical professionals today.
