[DE] "Die Geschichte von den sieben Schwaben

Bei dieser Skulpturengruppe, die von dem Steinmetz Heinrich Comes für den ehemaligen Märchenpark Mayen gefertigt wurde, handelt es sich um das alte Märchen der „Sieben Schwaben“ die gegen ein Ungeheuer kämpfen, das sich aber als Hase entpuppt. So steht denn auch in Mayen der Hase in einiger Entfernung und beobachtet, was die sieben stattlichen Herren da so veranstalten. Erste Überlieferungen dieser Geschichte stammen aus dem 16. Jahrhundert. Auch die Gebrüder Grimm haben das Märchen in ihrer Geschichtensammlung festgehalten.

Wie nun die 7 Schwaben des Heinrich Comes in die Stehbachstraße unweit der Hospitalkapelle zum Heiligen Geist gekommen sind, das konnte Bernd Groten für denkmalplatz.de einem Gespräch mit der Bildhauerin Marlies Willems-Comes klären."
