The bronze statue "Mother Earth" was created by the artist Engelbert Süss from Pfreimd on behalf of Eberhard Freiher. The figure symbolizes the connection between heaven and earth and stands for the down-to-earth. The long hair with wild curls and the light clothing leans on the representation of primitive peoples. Presumably, this is to express the closeness to nature.
The sculpture stands at the foot of the castle ruin Weißenstein in the Upper Palatinate Forest (on the mountain of the same name).
