Three figures that depict those many pilgrims who passed by Die Leonshardkirche or St. Leonard's Church on their way to Santiago de Compostela (during the Middle Ages). This statue was installed in 1990.

The items with the three wanderers (staff, hat, bags, etc) help us to recall the few items these pilgrims carried with them.

Apparently about 100,000 people per year still travel this route today! [More about this at Wikipedia.]

There is also more in the German Wikipedia.
