Statuettes of a miner and a metallurgist

The statuettes of a miner and a metallurgist are modelled on larger-than-life statues that stood at the Sieg bridge near Siegen. Art professor Johann Friedrich Reusch (1843-1906) created them for his home town in 1902. They are popularly known as “Henner and Frieder” and are symbols for the two central economic factors in the Siegerland region: ore mining and steel production.
