Monumental statue that was created by Markus Lüpertz, his employees and an art foundry. It stands on a former winding tower of the former Nordstern colliery in the Nordsternpark in the Horst district, is a landmark that defines the townscape and is a landmark of industrial and regional structural change in the Ruhr area.
