Story Time
More than 150 cut-outs decorate the street lamps of Heppenheim. Each picture represents a story from local folklore. At the bottom of the lamppost there are short versions of the stories.


This lamp tells the story of the two giants who stood on opposite mountains and threw rocks at each other creating the large “sea of stones” in Reichenbach and a smaller scattering of rocks on the facing mountain side (the Reichenbach giant was the weaker or smaller one, quite obviously).

No matter how pleadingly Leo looks at you – believe what it says on the collar. He has anxiety due to his past and only tolerates pets from his closest family.
