    Tips

    The men with the white shirts are one of Stephan Strahlhol's trademarks. They can be found in Hamburg, Mainz and Hanover, among others, and are sometimes combined with animals such as giraffes or deer. In HALLE (SAALE) for a few years (2001-2007) such a man stood on a pillar in front of the Landesbank with his arms resting on the seam of his pants. The Munich example, on the other hand, stands on a red beam and has its arms raised outstretched without becoming a tightrope artist. These everyday people leave a lot of room for speculation, which is why no interpretation will be offered here. He stands a few meters above the ground at the entrance to the "Kaufinger-Tor-Passage" and occasionally irritates passers-by who wonder whether this figure wants to welcome them or not.
