Hattingen historically: Large, rusty, in rank and file - and a naked excitement - the iron men!

The 2.40 meter tall behemoths with cast-iron minds and rusted muscles caused a lot of excitement. As early as June 1996, a poem hung on the best part of a sculpture: "Women see with displeasure that the next time it rains, the noble part will have to be de-rusted..."
The question of when the man is a man flared up and, last but not least, the indignation boiled over whether that was all that had to be, in the meantime one or the other man here has been emasculated (sculpture).
The sculptures have been here since 1996.

The "Iron People" by Zbigniew Frączkiewicz, which were erected in 1996 in Hattingen at the Henrichshütte (and later also in the city centre), are intended to commemorate the struggle to preserve the steel site!
