    The sculpture is an art object made of bronze. A man with a newspaper is depicted. The person is sitting on a bench on the corner of the main street and St.-Anna-Gasse in Heidelberg.
    The sculpture is popular with the public. The sculpture is often a meeting point or a motif for photos. He is also involved in people's lives. So he became part of the carnival parade on a Shrove Tuesday. In 2020 and 2021 he was often seen with a mask.
