Holbeinpferd, Concrete sculpture in Wiehre, Germany
The Holbeinpferd stands at the corner of Günterstal and Holbein streets, measuring 1.90 meters in height and length, weighing approximately one ton.
Werner Gürtner created this concrete foal sculpture in 1936, which was later positioned at its current location in the 1950s by the Freiburg municipality.
The sculpture transforms regularly through spontaneous painting activities by local residents, creating an ever-changing display of colors and designs.
Visitors can reach the sculpture via tram line 2 to Günterstal, getting off at the Holbeinstrasse stop in the Wiehre district of Freiburg.
In 2019, specialists removed 180 kilograms of accumulated paint layers during a two-month restoration project that cost 6,500 euros.
