“Echo des Poseidon” is the name of the ten-meter-high work of art, which shows the five-meter-high head of the Greek god looking west over the Rhine.

"The 10 m high sculpture by Markus Lüpertz has been on Mercator Island since 2016. The sculpture was welded together from 75 individual parts to mark the 300th anniversary of the port."
