The bowed one
The Bent is a limestone shell sculpture in Słupsk , which the sculptor Fritz Klimsch created in 1918/1919.
The sculpture was originally created as a memorial for the fallen soldiers of the First World War . In 1921 Fritz Klimsch exhibited the new work in the Berlin Salon. Shortly afterwards, the von Gamp-Massaunen family from Hebrondamnitz acquired the sculpture and set it up as a memorial in the small family cemetery in Hebrondamnitz (now Damnica ), Stolp district. In the early 1970s, after many years of oblivion, restoration and conservation work was carried out on the sculpture. In this context, the monument was given a new location. Today "the bent one" stands in a park in the center of Słupsk . In 1998 the sculpture was entered in the monument register.
