In the course of the Pannekaukenfest, the "Hanseverein Schwerte" has pledged itself to draw attention to persons and organizations that distinguish themselves through their personal commitment to the well-being of the generalitiy. Most of them are people or organizations that go beyond their professional activities to help people and improve our coexistence. Since this happens outside the public perspective, the Hanseverein wants to honor these persons and organizations with the awarding of the "Pannekaukenfrau" wandering prize awarded since 2010, as well as expressing appreciation and gratitude to the public for the often self-sacrificing activity of these persons and organizations , The first ceremony of the Pannekaukenfrau took place on the 17th Pannekaukenfest.

The sculpture
The sculpture was created in September 2010 in the blacksmith Design-with-Steel by Leo G. Pira in Unna. From a 60x60x200 mm "steel block" forged Leo G. Pira this using 150 kg blacksmiths and a Zuschläger. The 39 cm and 6 kg sculpture was handforged in about 30 hours of sweaty work. The surface was brushed and sealed with clear lacquer. From old bondage as "old swords" he liked to donate this figure, as he says, to the "Hanseverein Schwerte".
