This entry remains in the Atlas as a record of its history, but it is no longer accessible to visitors.
This unusual sculpture, created in 2004 by German artist Michael Schwarze, stands out amidst the hustle and bustle of the city center. The piece resides just outside the art boutique, Kunsthandlung Goyert. This isn't the only sculpture by Schwarze that can be found around the city. Several of his creations, many abstract and featuring exaggerated hands, feet, and other extremities are located in various corners of Köln.
