Roland Prince of Palatinate was the nephew of Charlemagne Emperor of the Christian West, crowned 800 in Rome by the Pope. Roland died fighting the Sarrasins in the pass of Roncesvalles in the Pyreneans. In the Middle ages statues of Roland were signs of the allegiance to the Emperor, some which have come down to our time are very impressive.
This wooden statue at the angle of a very well restored wooden frame house in Osterode, Germany is standing atop the head of a slain enemy wearing a turban. It reminds of the duel between David and Goliath where the little guy beheaded the invincible giant.

This manner house, called a castle in German, on the Groß Pötzdorf plantation only a few miles from Ostrowitt, where Otto was born in 1881, is typical of the style in which the large landowners lived. In a rural, tradition bound, structured society, Otto could never have even hoped to acquire this kind of wealth and welfare. Groß Pözdorf, Kreis Osterode, East Prussia, Germany, 1892.
