"Tischlein, deck dich!" (The Wishing-Table) by Karl Schönherr, 1977
Prager Straße
Dresden, September 2024
“The sculpture by the sculptor Karl Schönherr was erected at the instigation of Heiner Thomas, the director of the former GDR Interhotel Newa. Since 1997, the little donkey rider stood to the right of the main entrance to the building. During the later renovation of Prager Straße, the sculpture stood lost for several years on the edge of the construction pit for the planned State Operetta on Wiener Platz. In 2007, the sculpture was returned to its old place in front of the Newa. ‘Tischchen deck dich, Goldesel und Knüppel aus dem Sack’ (The Wishing-Table, the Gold-Ass, and the Cudgel in the Sack) is the name of the fairy tale by the Brothers Grimm that Karl Schönherr has recreated here.” (Tischlein-Deck-Dich, Wikimedia Commons)
