Beautiful sculpture at the Cape of Freedom in Schleswig. There are many places to sit on the promenade with a view of the Schlei. The Statue of Liberty is a work of art and declared a sea mark. Data on the work: B. Lothar Frieling: Sea Mark (1986) Auf der Freiheit, 24837 Schleswig https://sh-kunst.de/b-lothar-frieling-seezeichen/
