Friede sei mit Dir

The relief sculpture Friede sei mit Dir (German: [ˈfʁiːdə ˈzaɪ mɪt ˈdiːɐ̯], ‘peace be with you’), also known as the cock of Berlin,[1][2] is an artwork by sculptor Peter Lenk.

It is located in the Rudi Dutschke street in Berlin at the former building of the editorial staff of German newspaper taz.

The main part is a caricature of former Bild editor-in-chief Kai Diekmann with a comically enlarged penis stretched over five floors.

In 2002, journalist Gerhard Henschel claimed that Kai Diekmann had undergone a failed penis enlargement operation.

The court held that the claimant, in his function as chief editor of Bild, had willingly decided to become an actor in a personality-rights-infringing business from which he was profiting economically, and therefore was not entitled to maximum protection against infringement of his own rights.
