The sculpture in front of the grand staircase of master carpenter Emil Grimmert's magnificent town villa, built around 1890, is "EUROpa and the Bull" from 2003, a roughly 3.50-meter-high steel sculpture by Eberswalde-based metal sculptor Eckhard Herrmann. According to legend, the Phoenician king's daughter Europa was abducted by Zeus, the father of the gods, in the form of a bull, to the island of Crete, where, according to legend, he fathered three children with Europa. She thus became the foremother of the Cretan royal house and, at the same time, the namesake of the entire continent of Europe.
