The 'Handwerker mit Sohn' sculpture, also known as the 'Vatergruppe,' was created in 1898 by Wilhelm Haverkamp using Laaser marble. Initially part of a monument group on Andreasplatz in Berlin-Friedrichshain, it has stood alone on a high pedestal on Andreasstraße since 1960. This work is protected as an architectural heritage monument, showcasing the craftsmanship of the late 19th-century German sculptor.
