At the Olfen Mühlbrücke there is a small square with the bronze sculpture of the former Olfen swineherd and his animals.
The Berndsbrunnen is also dedicated to him.

One of those beautiful bronze sculptures that you can find in the towns of the Ried or the Odenwald...
They are reminiscent of typical historical people in the villages...
A plaque here tells the story of the swineherd Jacob.

2nd monument to Berndt, a worker of the then lower class. Interesting for children as an insight into the village history
