The Harvest Woman is one of the central wooden figures erected along the "Traumschleife LandZeitTour" near Morbach in the Hunsrück region.
These life-size sculptures, created and colored by the artist Jonas Herrmann using a chainsaw, serve to vividly convey the rural history and profound changes in the region's agriculture.
The LandZeitTour focuses on the development of the area around Hundheim and Hinzerath, with the figures symbolizing various historical professions and aspects of rural life.
In this ensemble, the Harvest Woman represents the physical labor and the essential role women have played in the use of natural resources and food production in the Hunsrück region for centuries. She complements thematically similar figures such as the "Herb Woman" and the "Arnica Collector," which highlight the importance of wet meadows and moors for obtaining medicinal herbs. Together with other sculptures such as the Shepherd and Elector Baldwin, the Harvest Woman forms part of an open-air museum that impressively demonstrates to hikers the interweaving of culture, history and nature along the premium hiking trail.
