Erna Roder (1916 to 2007) was a German painter who lived and worked in Kienitz. She worked in hospitals, old people's homes and communities for over 30 years, most recently in Hoerstgen on the Lower Rhine and moved to Kienitz im Oderbruch in 1965 to work as a pastor's wife.
After her husband's death in 1981, she began painting to raise money to rebuild her church. Erna Roder only painted motifs from her own perspective. In this respect, she did not rely on role models. The works she created arose solely from her.
The painting of the stone figures on Amselweg opposite the Kienitz store is also attributed to the painter Erna Roder, according to an article on the web under "Cultural Heritage Places in the Oderbruch", Kienitz World War Memorial Ensemble (kulturerbe-oderbruch.de/orte/denkmalensemble -world wars-kienitz). Unfortunately there is no information board on the figures and the external condition is also quite bad.
