The bronze sculpture depicts an idealized worker from the Gundersheim limestone quarries, which operated until the 1950s. Typical features include a crowbar, a smock belted with a rope, nailed shoes, and a "Batschkapp" (a hat).
The sculpture was created by the Alzey sculptor Volker Schäfer using prize money won by Gundersheim as part of the "Our Village Should Become More Beautiful" campaign, as well as donations from Gundersheim residents.
