Krieh die Kränk, Bronze sculpture in Frankfurter Strasse, Offenbach am Main, Germany.
The bronze sculpture features a thin elderly man in 19th-century clothing reaching for a stone, surrounded by four movable dog figures on a round base.
Created by artist Bonifatius Stirnberg in 1998, the sculpture depicts a tale of a Frankfurt citizen who discovered stones tied down while dogs ran free.
The sculpture's name comes from a South Hessian dialect expression that emerged from the historical rivalry between Frankfurt and Offenbach during the 19th century.
Located in front of the Lion Pharmacy at Frankfurter Strasse, the sculpture provides wheelchair access and features adjustable dog figures with movable parts.
The bronze plate contains raised lettering that narrates the anecdote of the frustrated Frankfurt visitor in the local dialect on its front side.
