Statues of Fritz and Adolf Busch

Highlight • Monument

The two-part ensemble of figures by the musicians Adolf (1891-1952) and Fritz Busch (1890-1951), who were born in Siegen, is located in the Siegen Palace Park and was created by the sculptor Christel Lechner in 2017. It was a gift from the Busch brothers' circle of friends, which has since been dissolved as an association.
The two larger-than-life figures (227 and 220 cm high) made of colored concrete were set up on the Siegufer in front of the Herrengarten business complex, which has since been demolished, until September 2021, where they had been vandalized several times.
In November 2022, the Lechnerhof and the urban green and forest working group of the university town of Siegen repositioned the ensemble of figures at the new location in the Siegen Palace Park on the edge of the so-called flower meadow.

After completing the task, I still had some time and looked at the old town of Siegen before returning. Despite the great destruction caused by the war, there are still some beautiful streets in the upper town that are worth a walk.

They don't just have one lock, but two: a lower lock and an upper lock, which also provides information about the difference in height. There is also no shortage of beautiful churches and a cute old town. Plus, Peter Paul Rubens was a native here, giving the town practical celebrity status. …

This morning, I decided at short notice that it would be better to take an earlier train to Siegen... You know the train dilemma!
