    Three figures are sitting in the middle of the market square in Heiligenhaus - they actually look very real in the morning mist. These "Pladerköpp" or in other words the chatterboxes" are 3 citizens from Heiligenhaus who meet at the market to chat every day.

    The three bronze figures by the Heiligenhaus artist Josef Vavro were ceremonially handed over to the citizens of Heiligenhaus by the Sparkasse Heiligenhaus (Erhard Frömberg / Hans Aldenhoff) on December 19, 1999 on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the Sparkasse Heiligenhaus.
