On 15 square meters the most important stages of Jesus' life are depicted by more than 300 figures. The master painter Max Vogel built this mountain, but it was last completely assembled in 1940. In 1987, Karl-Heinz Fischer bought the mountain and renewed it with a small technical marvel, which enables the movement of the figures.
