For all of my readers. . .

who were wondering about the statue in my profile, it is called "Jahrhundertschritt" by Wolfgang Mattheuer. More information can be found here. The link says the statues are in Leipzig and Bonn, but I encountered a version (unpainted) in a Schlosshof in Halle. Considering it is an example of GDR art, it is quite subversive. I guess it wasn't too hard to fool the censors. Those unschooled cretans!
