Vater und Sohn Figur
Vater und Sohn Figur stands at the southern edge of the Julius Leber School courtyard in Frankfurt. Georg Krämer created the artificial-stone sculpture in 1956. It measures 3.4 by 2.5 metres and has remained part of Frankfurt’s cityscape since its creation. The school grounds are wheelchair accessible, making this setting easier to approach.
One figure places an arm around the other, while father and son meet each other’s gaze. That close exchange gives the scene its image of trust. Installation coincided with the vocational school’s construction, which ran from 1956 to 1966. The City of Frankfurt owns the work, while the municipal Department of Construction and Real Estate cares for it. Their steady eye contact remains the sculpture’s clearest detail within the schoolyard.
