Everyone knows the old echo game: "What is the name of the mayor of Wesel?" Echo: "Donkey!" Because of this joke, the city of Wesel seized the opportunity and made the donkey an advertising symbol.

You can find the famous trademark with a wink in a variety of ways everywhere in the city - whether as a souvenir, as a life-size, painted donkey figure in a front garden or in the pedestrian zone.
