    The bronze statue stands on the town soldiers' square. It was erected for the 25th anniversary of the Hennef town soldiers.
    Stippeföttche is the name for a ritual that is common among the guards in the Rhineland during carnival.
    Two guardsmen stand back to back and rub their butts together in what is known as "wibbling".
    The name comes from the protruding butt.

    Quite a special ritual, which is represented here with the sculpture on the market square. Traces of the carnival can also be found in other places in town.
