The two-part ensemble of figures by the musicians Adolf (1891-1952) and Fritz Busch (1890-1951), who were born in Siegen, is located in the Siegen Palace Park and was created by the sculptor Christel Lechner in 2017. It was a gift from the Busch brothers' circle of friends, which has since been dissolved as an association.
The two larger-than-life figures (227 and 220 cm high) made of colored concrete were set up on the Siegufer in front of the Herrengarten business complex, which has since been demolished, until September 2021, where they had been vandalized several times.
In November 2022, the Lechnerhof and the urban green and forest working group of the university town of Siegen repositioned the ensemble of figures at the new location in the Siegen Palace Park on the edge of the so-called flower meadow.

Fritz Busch, born in Siegen in 1890, was one of the most important conductors in the first half of the 20th century. The violin virtuoso Adolf Busch, one year younger than his brother Fritz, was considered a once-in-a-century talent.
