The three bronze figures are a reminder of the "Danish Ox Trail". For the Hanseatic city of Lünen, it was an important trade route in the Middle Ages. The animals were driven from the North Sea to Cologne.

"Until its demolition in 1942, the Persiluhr was a popular meeting place in Lünen, and was re-erected in 1983. The grand opening was a grand festival, and it is still an" identifying feature "in the northern city center, where people like to meet.
The ox group in the neighborhood, erected in 1990, is reminiscent of the importance of the medieval Lünen as a trading and Hanseatic city on the "Danish Ochsenweg" Source: luenen.de/tourismus/sehenswuerdigkeiten/sp_auto_283.php
