Zentralbild-Bez.Red.Erfurt-Schmidt 21.12.1955 Hamburger Denkmalpfleger retteten der Arnstädter Bevölkerung ihren "Falkner-Knaben". Wie zahllose Kirchenglocken, Statuen und andere Schöpfungen der Giessereikunst war im Zeichen der "totalen Kriegsführung" auch die kleine Bronzefigur eines "Falkner-Knaben" von ihrem Natursteinsockel am Eingang des Stadtparks der Thüringischen Kreisstadt Arnstadt von den Faschisten nach Hamburg zum Einschmelzen verschleppt worden. Dank der Bemühungen der Hamburger Kulturbehörde nach 1945 erhielt die Arnstädter Bevölkerung ihren "Falkner-Knaben" im September dieses Jahres zur Eröffnung der alljährlichen grossen Arnstädter Dahlienschau wieder zurück. Dem darum verdienten Hamburger Denkmalspfleger, Professor Dr. Grundmann, übermittelte Bürgermeister Stange von Arnstadt mit dem Dank und den herzlichsten Grüssen der Arnstädter Bevölkerung ein Kunstfoto der Bronzestatue, die als Symbol alter Waldmannskunst gilt. UBz: Der "Falkner-Knabe". (Siehe hierzu ADN-Meldung vom 14.12.1955"

Zentralbild-Bez.Red.Erfurt-Schmidt 21.12.1955 Hamburg Monument Presidents saved their "Falkner boy" from the population of the city of Arnstadt. Like the numerous church bells, statues and other creations of foundry art, the small bronze figure of a "falconer boy" had been dragged away from the Fascists to Hamburg by their natural stone base at the entrance of the city park of the Thuringian town of Arnstadt. Thanks to the efforts of the Hamburg cultural authority after 1945, the population of the city of Arnstadt restored its "Falkner boy" in September this year to the opening of the annual large Arnstadt dahlia show. The Hamburg mayor of Arnstadt, with the thanks and heartfelt gratitude of the citizens of Arnstadt, conveyed an art photo of the bronze statue, which is the symbol of old Waldmannskunst. UBz: The "falconer boy". (See the ADN report of 14.12.1955 "
