Old city gate column was a case for the retirees Brigade

Raced mountain. Four Rastenberger saved a little piece of history of their city and gave him a solid future.
Ingeborg Ropte has a book of her father Robert Wagner issued, to whom he gave the title of "catch Mountain, small town in the Finn." Siegfried Huber, member of the well-known retired brigadier, read it and found a note on the gate in the Untertor Street. From then on, an idea would not let go: What if we bring the old column back in order?
As early as 1801, as Siegfried Huber learned from the Scriptures by Robert Wagner, the old city gate was torn down. The two pillars remained until the 1970s was one of the construction work for the consumer in the way of children's camps.

Now, save the last column was a "case for retirees Brigade", which has long committed to notch mountain and 5 to 6 members has. Also explains Siegfried Huber, he had many years ago, a quiet bank (now there are 33), established in the notice of the "look at the Heppchenviertel" is engraved.
Well matured the plan to fix that part of the Untertorstraße exactly. "Behind the gate started the quarter in which dwelt the Rastenberger miners. They could afford to keep a cow or a goat and had instead" explains Siegfried Huber memories of the shaft construction from 1910 to 1932 at Rastenberg. Even he, a skilled lathe was once a farmer shaft.
Four seniors got to work: the bus driver Gerhard hull, the mason Hartmut Schmidt, transmission locksmith in shaft sinking, Siegfried Huber, and the senior partner of Dürnbacher hut, a stone operation in Weimar, Manfred home plate. Together they are 285 years old.

Of a "special place" in Rastenberg two sandstones were brought tailored in consultation with Rainer Telle of the company TUG, as well as in screening mountain, with a diamond saw and inserted into the column.
Two panels were attached

Since on-seated ball was only a fragment of the top left, the men took this as a sample and poured concrete a new ball. Also had to be replaced in the top plate out a broken corner. "Then we grouted the tiles, cleaned and ready - this column is the next 200 years," said Siegfried Huber was pleased.
Two panels were installed - one with the goat's head and one with the old and now renewed inscription "Untertor St. Kilian, was demolished in 1801, next to the former poorhouse" - and the scaffold that Rüdiger Rieger had found dismantled. The "initiation" donated one of the neighbors, Walter Bukal (91), even more money for beer.
Conclusion: Rastenberg remained a gem get some will perceive it only now. What also might be due to the Heppenheim.
