Annotation

Adolf Berend was a phenomenon in the streets of Fulda on roads. From 1890 to 1910 he lived in Fulda and cleaned the public space with a pike and a slung bag of discarded debris. This was at that time likely predominantly paper scraps, so that he became known under the name "Papiermänchen" (little paper man).

Sculptor

Johannes Kirsch (1930), German sculptor from Petersberg.
