In Övelgönne near Hamburg, the wooden buoy man is replaced by a grotesquely prepared corpse in the middle of the river. Inspector Thies Knudsen from the Altona State Criminal Police Office is investigating the case!
HaHa, it's a book.

Stephan Balkenhol's artwork "Four Men on Buoys" consists of four sculptures of men floating on buoys in the Port of Hamburg and other bodies of water. The buoy men have been on display at four locations in Hamburg since 1993:

Hamburg-Othmarschen, Elbe River near Övelgönne;
Hamburg-Bergedorf, Serrahn (part of Bergedorf Harbor and the Bille River);
Hamburg-Hohenfelde, Outer Alster near Gurlitt Island;
Hamburg-Wilhelmsburg, Southern Elbe River, east of the Europa Bridge on Finkenrieker Hauptdeich
