Figurenfeld Alois Wünsche-Mitterecker
Figurenfeld Alois Wünsche-Mitterecker, Sculpture garden and architectural heritage monument in Eichstätt, Germany.
The field contains 78 life-size concrete figures arranged without paths across the natural landscape of Hessental, representing soldiers and war casualties.
From 1958 until 1975, sculptor Alois Wünsche-Mitterecker created this memorial based on his experiences as a war artist during World War II.
The sculptures combine with the surrounding Jura landscape to form a statement about the futility of war, differing from traditional German monuments.
Each sculpture weighs between 2.7 and 2.8 tons, constructed from a special concrete mixture containing granite and basalt particles for durability.
Three large steles featuring relief sculptures of prisoners stand among the figures, with each casting weighing approximately 18 tons.
