Lucky Pig of Schwetzingen

Highlight • Monument

Sculpture for the 1250th birthday of Schwetzingen. Built in 2016 by Peter Lenk. It shows the Elector Carl-Theodor riding behind his muse sitting on a mother sow. Typically Lenk - an eye-catcher that conjures passersby a smile in the face.

Schwetzingen Asparagus Lady

Highlight • Monument

Nice monument to asparagus - if not here in Schwetzingen! Especially funny, when in the asparagus season directly next to real asparagus stands.
