The sculptor Fritz Cremer created the 2.96 m bronze statue in 1966 and 1967, which shows a man climbing. In 1975, the GDR donated it to the United Nations and it was erected in the park of the UN headquarters in New York. Second casts of the sculpture can be found in Magdeburg, Rostock and in Plauen, Vogtland, on the Bärenstein near the upper railway station. I photographed it there. With his work, the artist expressed the struggle and the suffering.
