Perhaps you know the Grimm's household's tale about Mother Holle.



(See link above for further reading :wink: )



http://www.unc.edu/courses/2002spring/germ/022/assign2/frau%20holle.jpg - Frau Holle - as it is called in the original German version, should get a monument in the German 'Werra-Meissner-County', a touristic attraction on the highest mountain there, the 'Meissner', where already a "Mother-Holle-Lake" exists:

No sooner said than done a statue was erected, on this

Unfortunately, no-one asked the women of these county about the 3.5 meter high statue:
they thought, it was too sexy and destroyed it partly:

Leading (male) civil servants admit that they should have discussed about this before erecting the statue.
However, vandalism couldn't be an alternative to art critics.

Well, rübezahl isn't a figure situated at the "Hessische Märchenstrasse", but Rübezahl and 'erect'... Embarrassed

you were a good boy, walter ! you may read in bed for another half hour, and turn the light out before you go to sleep. night' , night' , sleep tight, may the bedbugs bite. hbg ... i know it's a little early for bedtime, but mrs h (and helper - me !) just put a big pan of lasagna into the oven, and i have a bit of time on my hands before it's ready for lunch (our main meal of the day). so i'm killing time - have starting cleaning the basement, but it's booooring to be in the basement by myself.
