The 10-meter-tall King Kong figure in "Paradise" is undoubtedly one of the stars of the Völklinger Hütte World Heritage Site. The larger-than-life ape figure was installed by renowned artist Ottmar Hörl as part of the "5th UrbanArt Biennale® 2019 Unlimited."
Website quote: "Ottmar Hörl installed the prototype of a tormented and misunderstood creature here, symbolic of our relationship with nature. Unmistakable and oversized. Nature will fight back if we ignore its signs and fail to approach it with understanding."
