The Olympia Triumphans, for example, is a response to the architecture in the Olympic Park. Her muscular legs take up the supports of the stadium, her round butt cheeks the shapes of the now demolished cycling stadium that stood near the sculpture. Martin Mayer planned the location precisely, source tz.de

Hiking

The work has a height of 5.10 m, of which 1.25 m is accounted for by the base. The bronze casting was carried out by the Werner Braun ore foundry, the concrete base by Heilmann & Littmann.

The Latin inscription in capital letters on the sphere reads:

OLYMPIA TRIUMPHANS
PER NATURAM AD ARTEM
PER ARTEM AD NATURAM
AD HOMINUM PIETATEM
AD HUMANITATEM
EXTRUENDAM

The translation for this is:

Triumphant Olympics
Through nature to art
Through art to nature
Man for edification
Building humanity

The large bronze sculpture was set up in 1972 in the Olympic Park in Munich. The Olympia Triumphans represents a mighty and powerful athlete who balances with her hands on a ball. She spreads her legs towards the sky.
