De uitvliegende vogel Fenix (statue)

In the middle of the park, a young phoenix, an eagle-like bird, leaves the nest. The stylized nest of branches is placed on a firm rock. The bird radiates strength, courage and pride. A phoenix is a mythical bird that burns up after a certain period of time, after which a new young phoenix rises from its ashes. The phoenix symbolizes immortality and resurrection. The bronze artwork is a monument in memory of former mayor Oderkerk (mayor of Etten-Leur from 1960-1976), made by Niels Steenbergen (1911-1997) and unveiled in 1983. Read more
