Angel Roundabout Blechelse - Kelkheim 🚴‍♂️

A real eye-catcher, the angel roundabout in Kelkheim truly deserves another spin around the winged Blechelse.. 🚴‍♂️

The now symbolic traffic circle with the angel stands unmistakably on Königssteiner Straße/Frankenallee.

When the first traffic circle in Kelkheim was built at the main cemetery in 2010, there was no money left for a work of art. A large garden gnome served as a placeholder. Apparently, many couldn't understand that this was meant to be funny, and Fred, the garden gnome, was destroyed several times. How surprised the people of Kelkheim were when one morning a large female figure with raised arms and wings spread wide stood in the traffic island.
The figure is the work of metalworker Luigi Mulé from Kelkheim. It is made of sheet metal and weighs 160 tons. Twenty friends had to help in a cloak-and-dagger operation to secretly erect the figure overnight on the roundabout hill. Kelheim's iconic figure is now permanently in place. And the people of Kelkheim even gave the sculpture a name: "Rotary Angel" or "Blech Angel"... 🚴‍♂️
