The oak wood figures are 2.80 meters high, 600 kilograms and measure on average about 70 centimeters. They stand on a secure foundation, a pedestal and are secured with an iron bar. This also protects them from rising damp. The seats were also carefully selected. "While the Goldmarie stands in the sun and is flooded with sunlight, the Pechmarie is rather in the shade"

The large, solid wooden figure of Pechmarie stands a little to the side in the shade.

In the fairy tale of Frau Holle, Pechmarie is a spoiled, lazy girl who bosses her stepsister around. She also wants to go to the kingdom of Mrs. Holle to be showered with gold. But she is lazy and has no desire to do Mrs. Holle's work.
As a "reward" she is showered not with gold, but with black pitch.

In the area surrounding the Vogelherdhöhle there are two oversized oak wood figures depicting Gold and Pechmarie. Two photogenic eye-catchers that not only bring joy to children.
