Sculpted in Muschelkalk, the Pan Statue sits before you. It’s a captivating piece. The statue portrays Pan, the ancient god of shepherds and wild forests. He’s depicted playing his panpipes. The Pan Statue has a fascinating story. Arminius Hasemann likely sculpted it between 1920 and 1929. The statue depicts Pan in a crouching position on a square plinth. He holds his panpipes to his mouth, his right hoof extended forward. Hasemann’s style blends Art Deco and Expressionism. His work often features mythological themes. He was a member of the Nazi party. Despite his political affiliations, his art wasn’t favored by the regime. He struggled financially and hid many of his works. The Pan Statue’s history is a bit murky. Its original location and reason for creation are unknown. The statue was placed in Heinrich-Lassen-Park around 1979, possibly after Hasemann’s death. The statue is currently damaged. Its left forearm and facial details are missing. It’s a poignant reminder of a complex artist and a timeless mythological figure. The Pan Statue stands as a testament to Hasemann’s skill and the enduring power of art.
