It stands very conspicuously in front of the town hall, the "Bochum" lettering and selfie point. It is 8.80 m wide and 2.20 m high and, due to its artistic arrangement, is only photogenic from one direction. It has also come under criticism due to the costs involved.

A very decorative design of the square in front of the town hall.

💙The cyan-blue lettering stands as a recognizable landmark in the heart of Bochum's city center, in front of the town hall.💙

Everyone can take a great souvenir photo in front of the nearly 9-meter-wide and 2.20-meter-high "Bochum" lettering. 📸

🌃The selfie spot is illuminated at night.💡
