Die Skulptur "Der Wächter" wurde 1993 von Erwin Noll (visit link) aus Stahl (oxidiert und vergoldet) erschaffen. Sie ist über 4 Meter hoch.

Vorher stand die Skulptur vor der Rhein-Main-Halle in Wiesbaden. Das Gebäude wurde abgerissen und so musste die Kunst weichen.

Der 1948 in Bad Homburg geborene Künstler (der nun in Niederbayern lebt) schenkte sodann sein Werk der Stadt Bad Homburg (in 2014). (visit link) (visit link)
Das ca. 2 Tonnen schwere Kunstwerk benötigte ein sicheres Fundament (visit link) und steht nun
am Anfang der Skulpturenallee - dort wo bislang die Statue Red Boy stand. (visit link)
Der neue Standort wurde am 20. Juni 2017 eingeweiht. (visit link)
