A woven—or rather, wrapped—willow sculpture was erected as part of the 1250th anniversary celebrations of the town of Eschborn. The cornucopia was adorned with fresh strawberries, and the seed tray was filled with seeds. Attaching these to the body of the "sower" was a bit tricky at first, as was calculating the entire statics, explains Irmgard Wissing. The willow artist from Bad Bevensen is proud that her woven figure, which was originally intended to be erected last year for the 1250th anniversary, could finally be unveiled. It now stands in the Oberwiesen meadows, next to the extended Dörnweg path near Steinbacher Straße.

From 1901 to 1905, the Frankfurt banker Wilhelm Bonn (* March 16, 1843 in Frankfurt am Main; † October 21, 1910 in Kronberg im Taunus) had Villa Bonn built. The Bonn family had already had a summer residence on the property since 1864, which was subsequently expanded through additional purchases. Baruch and Betty Bonn, Wilhelm Bonn's parents, were wealthy Jewish bankers and had acquired the property that year and converted it into a prestigious summer residence. Baruch Bonn was a co-founder of the railway company that contributed to Kronberg's railway connection. The Bonn couple were also socially active, for example, as supporters of the Baruch and Betty Bonn'sche Versorgungshaus Foundation of the Cronberg community, the poor relief fund, and the hospital association. In the second generation, the house was initially occupied by Philipp Bonn and his sister Charlotte Wetzlar. After Philipp Bonn's death, Wilhelm Bonn inherited the property. The building was designed by the Hamburg architect Alfred Löwengard in the Historicist style with Art Nouveau influences. A park was laid out around the house, based on the English model.

The title "The Promise" refers to an announcement in the past. The group of figures, reminiscent of a gathering of dignitaries, embodies the present. The future is hinted at in the development of the egg-shaped object, which promises the fulfillment of the promise. None of the figures exhibits curious, impatient waiting. Rather, their anticipation is characterized by caution and reserve, and perhaps even perplexity. An exchange of ideas about the nature and possibilities hidden within the oversized egg seems to be developing in the room.
