Schampus Fiaskus

On 13.03.2004, the sculpture "Schampus Fiaskus" was unveiled and christened on the lawn in front of the Haus des Gastes. The sculpture was donated to the Heimat- und Verkehrsverein on the occasion of its 75th anniversary by the artist group Trio Art together with seminar participants.

You can't miss the "Schampus Fiaskus", as it is 1.76 m high and 1.20 m wide. With its colorful drawings, it is a real eye-catcher and is somewhat reminiscent of Niki de Saint Phalle's Nana sculptures. With its three holes that invite you to look through, it is also playable, and the holes also gave the artist group "TrioArt" its name. The association with the yawning financial holes everywhere and the associated fiasco led to the bird's name "Fiaskus" and because they were drinking champagne at the internal celebration of its completion, it was given the first name "Schampus". Around 500 hours of work went into creating the sculpture, with the local history and tourist association providing the materials and catering.

The basic material for the sculpture is polyester resin on which a wire frame was built. The aim is to erect more such figures in the climatic health resort.
