Henner und Frieder, Bronze statue group in Siegen, Germany

The Henner und Frieder sculptures present a miner and a smelter standing at the Oberstadtbrücke, facing each other in detailed bronze craftsmanship.

Created by Friedrich Reusch in 1902, these statues were initially displayed at the Industrial and Trade Exhibition in Düsseldorf before their donation to Siegen.

The statues represent the mining heritage of Siegerland region, with real workers Phillip Hüttenhain and Friedrich Bingener serving as models for the figures.

Located near the train station bridge on the Siegplatte, these sculptures are accessible through multiple public transportation routes in central Siegen.

During World War II, the statues fell into the Sieg River after bridge demolition by Wehrmacht forces, but were recovered weeks later.
