The Euro-Skulptur (German for Euro sculpture) by Ottmar Hörl set up at Willy-Brandt-Platz in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, is one of two copies of the work that have been put on public display.
[1] Ottmar Hörl designed the Euro-Skulptur towards the end of the 1990s, creating two copies.
While one of these was set up at Frankfurt Airport, he gave away the other version to the private corporation Frankfurter Kultur Komitee which decided to put it on display at Willy-Brandt-Platz in front of the then seat of the European Central Bank, or ECB which was then at the Eurotower.
In 2015, a technical update took place when the sculpture's light-emitting elements were replaced by LED.
[7] In September 2022, the Frankfurt Culture Committee announced that the sculpture would be preserved in its original location and the financial start-up Caiz Development would provide the maintenance costs for the next five years.
