[DE] "Direkt am Forum auf rotem Sandstein, einem römischen Steinquader aus dem ehem. Jünkerather Kastell, sitzt (besser reitet) der römische Gott der Fruchtbarkeit und des Weines auf einer Gußeisernen “Tonne”, früher ein Kanonenofen, Geschenk eines Jünkerather Gießereibesitzers. Bacchus und Ofen sind Erzeugnisse der Eifeler Eisenindustrie aus der Zeit um 1700. Der Sandsteinsockel zeigt übrigens eine sehr seltene Darstellung von der Wildschweinjagd heimkehrender treverischer Jagdknechte, einem germanisch-keltischem Volkstamm aus dem Raum Trier."
[EN] "Directly at the Forum on red sandstone, a Roman stone block from the former Jünkerath fort, sits (better ridden) the Roman god of fertility and wine on a cast iron "barrel", formerly a cannon oven, a gift from a Jünkerath foundry owner. Bacchus and Ofen are products of the Eifel iron industry from around 1700, and the sandstone base shows a very rare depiction of Treverian hunting servants returning from the wild boar hunt, a Germanic-Celtic tribe from the Trier region."
