    What the "hand" is all about (text from the sign):

    "The "hand" impresses with its size and thus highlights its multifaceted meaning as a symbol of energy, care, understanding, and protection. [...] Viewers are invited to become aware of the symbolism of the hand and to reflect on their own role in protecting and caring for their surroundings and environment."

    That's certainly something to think about. However, I find it rather funny that the pedestal "invites you to linger" 😄

    This sculpture of a large hand by Bernhard Mathäss, created in 2022, is part of the "Maikammer Art Trail."

    It stands fascinatingly by the wayside – and makes for a great photo opportunity (especially together with Hambach Castle)!
