"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

At the end of the 1920s, electrically illuminated advertising pillars with clock systems were set up. The woman dressed in white and wearing a Florentine hat, designed by Kurt Heiligenstaedt, was depicted on it.In 1987, on the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the Persil brand, Henkel began offering this watch free of charge to the towns and cities where there had previously been a "Persil watch", in order to use the "White Lady" to positively emphasize the old Persil marketing again . For example, a persil clock was set up in Flensburg, Hamm and Lünen. In Lünen, even the bus stop in the center was renamed "Lünen, Persiluhr"; a hotel there is also called “An der Persil-Uhr”. On the occasion of the 90th anniversary of the brand, nine more Persil watches were given away to various cities (including Krefeld and Oelsnitz/Vogtl.).Source, with more info and pictures:
