Tower hall with a memorial to those who fell in the First and Second World Wars
Bronze chandelier in the tower hall In 1960, Heinz Heiber created the 2.90 meter high bronze chandelier with the theme “The Apocalyptic Horsemen” to depict the horrors of war. He placed the first rider with a bow on a white horse (abuse of power) at the bottom, above him the rider with a sword on a red horse (war), next highest the rider with the scales* (price increase) on a black horse and at the top Death with the scythe* on a pale horse. Death with a scythe is located immediately below the golden lamb, which represents Christ. Here the artist depicted the riders with their horses falling on top of each other. It seems as if the four of them triggered a dynamic that a single rider could no longer stop. *unfortunately damaged or lost" (Text from art guide: retired pastor Vera Ostermayer / Elfriede Hirschmann)
