From the vineyards she came, a bronze figure against the Stuttgart sky. The Winzerliesel stands here, a timeless tribute to the city’s winegrowing heritage. The Winzerliesel Sculpture, dedicated on October 13, 1929, captures a poignant moment. A woman, weary but content, returns from a day’s work in the vineyards. A child rests in her arms, and a small dog frolics at her feet. The sculpture was a gift from the Grundbesitzerverein Azenberg, a local landowners’ association, commemorating Stuttgart’s 700th anniversary. Created by sculptor Emil Kiemlen, the Winzerliesel is more than just bronze and stone. It embodies the spirit of the hardworking people who shaped Stuttgart’s history. The inscription on the base shares a verse: “Das Tagewerk, es ist vollbracht, nun schreitest, Winzerliesel, du, gesegnet und im Abendfrieden der Heimat trautem Hüttlein zu.” This translates to, “The day’s work is done, now you stride, Winzerliesel, blessed, in the evening peace of home, to your cozy cottage.” The Winzerliesel is a testament to the enduring connection between the city and its vineyards. She reminds us of the simple joys of life and the rewards of hard work. As you stand before the Winzerliesel, imagine the scent of ripe grapes and the warmth of the setting sun. Hear the laughter of children and the gentle murmur of conversations as families gather after a long day. The Winzerliesel invites you to appreciate the beauty of Stuttgart, from its bustling city center to its tranquil vineyards. She is a symbol of the city’s rich past and a promise of its vibrant future.
