The Europator by the artist Friedrich Gräsel rises at the beginning of an avenue in Nordsternpark and, as a free-standing sculpture, is reminiscent of a triumphal arch of modern industrial culture. Friedrich Gräsel used voluminous tubes from industrial production for his sculpture, which are joined together to form an almost right-angled gate and completed by asymmetrical support and side parts.
