This bronze sculpture by Weiden sculptor Günter Mauermann from the 1980s commemorates the Bohemian musicians who traveled through Bohemia and Upper Palatinate before the First World War, and their signature instrument, the bagpipe. On the bagpiper's right shoulder sits the Hoimann, a figure from Upper Palatinate legend.

The architect Ludwig Wagner, who built Anker Ost and Anker West, donated a statue, the "bagpipe player" after completion of the building complexes. This sculpture is reminiscent of the Bohemian musicians who wandered in the area of Bohemia and Upper Palatinate before the First World War. The bagpipe is a typical musical instrument of Bohemian musicians. On the right shoulder sits the Hoimann, a Oberpfälzer legend figure.

In the mid-80s, the bagpiper was created by Günter Mauermann and installed at the Issy-les-Moulineaux-Platz.

I was not aware until now that the bagpipe was a typically Bohemian musical instrument.
