Wooden Sculpture The Long Look Back

The modern wooden sculpture from 2004 is entitled "The Long Look Back". It is made from the wood of a more than 3,700-year-old bog oak. It was created by Franz Musiol, who moved to Eberbach in 1996 and was born in 1949 in Seefeld on the Jade Bay. He studied at the wood technology college in Rosenheim and taught wood technology at a special vocational school in Mosbach from 1991. Since 1999, his technical knowledge of wood has been transformed into works of art: he shaped found objects from nature into fantastic, bizarre forms by following the natural growth of trees, roots or branches and letting their material - wood - work in its diversity and beauty.

Wooden Sculpture Shore Acquaintance

Another of his works stands on the next landing. It was originally driftwood from the Neckar and once the root of an elm tree. He called the work from 2005 "Uferbekanntschaft".
