Description

Three little sandstone pigs, erected in 1996.

Evert two years the children of the Brennerstraße have their reunion. At the 2016 reunion the three pigs were 'christened'. The were called 'Anna' (in memory of a newspaper delivery woman), 'Friedel' (for a generous donation from a Brennerstraße resident to erect the statues) and 'Ludchen' (for innkeeper Ludwig Beißner from the Hotel 'Georg von Weimar' at Brennerstraße 14 for taking in many war refugees).
