Njörd is a Germanic water god. He is the patron god of sailors and fishermen. His favorite animal is the swan.
The new statue is made of wood. In contrast to the previous statue, which was made of metal, it is not susceptible to rust.

Njörd, north Germanic wind and sea god. He embodies the calm sea and beautiful weather and is the patron god of fishermen and anglers.

The former statue was made entirely of scrap metal, retaining its original form but repurposed entirely for its intended purpose. Old sheet metal, discarded screws, gears, transmission parts, and spark plugs were built around a tubular frame and carefully welded.

The figure also received a special coating to protect it from weather damage.

Njörd is the patron god of sailors and fishermen. A photo by Thomas Gottschalk served as the model for the face.

In 2018, the steel Njörd had to be removed after seven years due to severe corrosion and missing parts. Sculptor Hans-Joachim Piegenschke created a successor made of oak for the site.
