This mural tells a story from the time of the German revolutionary upheavals 1848/49. It can be found in Kirchheimbolanden opposite the old town wall. Unfortunately, it has fallen into a state of decay and urgently needs reparation works.

This is the mural seen from above, standing on the town wall.

A detail with Mathilde Hitzfeld (a young woman who fought on the side of the revolutionaries for freedom and democracy), almost like a German Marianne (the symbolic figure of the French Revolution).

The state of disrepair can be seen with this singular figure, a few metres away from the mural, missing hand an all.
For Monday Mural. More murals can be found here.
It looks like it must have been painted a long time ago. What a pity about the statue too.
Thanks for participating.

I couldn’t find a date when the mural was originally painted (by Dr. Edeltrauth Sießl). But it was reconditioned in 2006 which doesn’t seem to be that long ago for the condition it is in.
