Heinz Friedrich: Johann Peter Hebel Mural

In 2001, the facade of the Johann-Peter-Hebel-Heim, not far from Hebel’s grave, was given a new look. Heinz Friedrich designed a mural which portrays the stately figure of the poet, pedagogue and prelate. His clothes and attributes point to his diverse talents, while the depicted buildings indicate the towns associated with Hebel’s life and mission: Basel, his place of birth, Hausen in Wiesental, where he grew up, Lörrach and Karlsruhe, where he established himself as a pedagogue and prelate, and Schwetzingen, where he was finally laid to rest.
