What, most people ask, is the “lion spider” supposed to tell us? Quite simply, the solution lies in the designations of the trade fair townspeople.
Monica Felsendreher created her work of art out of rotary clothes dryers and thus gave the residential development part its importance. But what does the lion spider look like?
