White - It is made of bronze, several hundred pounds is heavy, and the middle in white. But what does one do the turtle? And why do the same sculpture stands at the district government in Arsenal Street? Professor Elmar Hillebrand explains what is going on with his turtle on him.
Veedel Every child knows the turtle from White. And the adults meet on Sunday at the "Turtle Place" for bocce games. But outside the Veedel the story behind it is quite unknown.
"Years ago, I won a contest the city of Cologne and was then poured the turtle sculpture," says Professor Elmar Hillebrand. The renowned sculptor who has worked for the maintenance department and worked at the RWTH Aachen University: "It was twice as expensive here, I could make the turtles in Milan." So he got two for one price.
The first statue landed at the district government, the second loan was in the garden of his daughter. Years passed before putting up the second turtle was stamped in white and the "Piazza Tartaruga" was born.
One other had the 84-year-old with white: the former Domstatue "Nepomuk", he built up again, the Chapel of St. George, he re-designed with other whites.
