    In some circles, they are lovingly and ironically compared to the impression of the Celtic Stonehenge: sculptor Claus Bury calls his multi-part sculpture "Bankhäuser", which has been standing since 2018 and was officially handed over to the citizens of the West Palatinate near Kaiserslautern on May 11, 2019. The pieces weighing several tons were made from Schweinstaler sandstone, and the location on the artist's website says: “On a hill with a 360 degree panorama, partly used for agriculture, 4 rows of seats are arranged at a distance of 10 meters from each other and invite you to linger "The sculptures are only accessible on foot. The coordinates are 49 ° 21'56.0" N / 7 ° 36'26.6 "E, on the Haselberg in the municipality 66851 Queidersbach.
    The Rhineland-Palatinate Sculpture Association, which has organized sculpture symposia every two years since 1986, has been involved in the list, 10 so far, in which over 70 large sculptures have been created. Visitors can experience them in the countryside and in the city along a hiking trail from Johanniskreuz via Kaiserslautern to Kollweiler.
    Claus Bury is known for large sculptures, which he mostly makes from steel or wood, and which stand like architectures in the landscape. "The viewer feels like a visitor to an imaginary world in which everyday orientation no longer works," it says on his web page, which invite objects "to walk around, enter, climb and look at". clausbury.de
