    The craft of Nagelschmiede was widespread in Groß-Felda. Until just before World War I, more than 30 nail smiths forged a myriad of nails. To commemorate this sculpture was erected.

    The sculpture
    "Faeller Naelschmied"
    ( Feldatal Nail Smith)
    in Feldatal was created by Dr Ulrich Barnickel.
    In August 2012, on the occasion of the 7th Feldataler Schmiedefest (Festival of Blacksmiths), it was solemnly unveiled.
    The sculpture is a homage to the nail smiths in Feldatal. They practiced their craft until the end of World War I and produced up to
    25,000 nails daily. The trade of the nail smiths is also anchored in the coat of arms of the municipality with
    4 nails and a hammer.
