The sculpture was created in 2001 by the sculptor Walter Meffert based on a design by the artist Georg Hieronymi. An old Oberursel Rüge custom that was practiced until 1703 is shown.
According to this, a wife who had violently attacked her husband was placed astride a donkey on Shrove Tuesday and led through the village by her husband or a paid "women's master".

There are many fountains to visit in Oberursel. A circular route is worthwhile, as many fountains are actually running.

It's a very well-made group of sculptures. The story behind it is quite interesting.
