An unusual wooden sculpture on a ridge in the Allgäu Alps was knocked over by strangers.

Now helpers put the "cultural monument" back on.

  • Around four years ago, a slightly different

    wooden figure was erected

    on the

    Grünten Mountain

    (1738).

  • Most recently,

    however

    , the famous

    sculpture

    was overturned -

    helpers

    on

    the Internet said they were

    ready to set it up.

  • The

    "lack of stability"

    is loud municipality no reason the figure to remove.

Rettenberg - For around four years, the 1738 meter high Grünten - a ridge in the

Allgäu Alps

- has

been adorned with

a

wooden figure

in the form of a male genitals.

For reasons unknown, the

sculpture was

brought down.

As a result,

many users on

social networks

agreed to help set up - with success.

The

monster

,

over two meters high,

is back.

It stands again: Unusual wooden figure knocked over in Oberallgäu - "probably cows rubbed against it"

In the past, the wooden penis did not show that much

steadfastness

.

"It has often happened that he fell over," quotes the

German Press Agency (dpa),

the former

host of

the Grüntenhütte, Norbert Zeberle.

He suspects that this time

cows

rubbed

against

it and caused the figure

to fall

.

Zeberle doesn't know exactly

how the

sculpture got

on the mountain.

“It was suddenly there on May 1st,” he says.

Young people from

Rettenberg

(Oberallgäu district) apparently

pulled

the wooden penis

up the mountain

with a

sledge

.

"We were surprised, but immediately

marketed it

as our

maypole

."

Only a few

hikers

would have

complained about the

phallic symbol

.

“Cultural monument” in Oberallgäu is back: the community sees the sculpture relaxed

The

municipality of Rettenberg also

sees the

“cultural monument”

declared

on

Google Maps

relaxed: the sculpture is neither on private property nor is it directly on the

hiking trail

, emphasizes Mayor Nikolaus Weißinger

(CSU) according to

dpa

.

Due to the lack of "stability" of the wooden penis, nobody has been

harmed

so far

.

So there is

no reason

for the community to

do

anything.
