The conceptual artist Olaf Holzapfel created the sculpture "Zwei in ein ander Gewobene", which stands on the Dittersdorfer Höhe in Amtsberg. The sculpture is made of half-timbered wood and measures 6.0 x 6.0 x 14.0 metres. It is reminiscent of trigonometric towers that were used for surveying purposes in Saxony's history. Holzapfel, born in Dresden in 1967, explores the relationship between man, nature and space in his work.
