I have nothing to add about the statue or the clergyman it shows. But when I took German, we were taught a sentence to illustrate how Germans use glottal stops before words (and sometimes word parts) starting with vowels:
"Aber ob er über Oberammergau oder über Unterammergau kommt, ist ungewiss."
It means "But whether he comes via Oberammergau or Unterammergau, is uncertain." If you need to practice your German pronunciation, it's a helpful tool.
