      looks quite exposed to me, no shade no protection from rain/wind

    2. Is a retirement home nearby? This statues are connected with the retirement home from the chain “Kirsch” in my hometown

      Oh it’s like those creepy Japanese dolls they put all over their villages, in schools and playgrounds instead of real children?

    4. Nice…we’ve got them too, in different parts of our town…WT, Ba-Wü…

      There is a sign behind the statues “playing football is forbidden”. What is the reason of that?

      Why would anyone sit down right in the sun, next to an ugly parking lot?

      There are no people outside anymore because every one just sits alone at home all day long scrolling TikTok or goes out to some overfilled local park instead of sitting at some ordinary place in the street. For this reason, the streets look empty and boring, so they put these figures everywhere. /s

      Not really Alltagsmenschen to me. Maybe Germany <1970

      Somehow, city administrators love those. While I think they are boring and useless, half of my city is populated by them.

      We have some of those statues in Brunswick too!

      One art gallery in the city actually owns one – [they cart him on a rollboard in front of their store as sort of an eyecatcher whenever they’re open](https://i.ibb.co/7wmpmwh/Alltagsmensch.png). This guy has been a fixture there for as long as I can remember (I live in BS since the very early 2000s).

      The comparatively new mall next to the Brunswick central train station also has a few of them permanently populating their main corridor.

      These statues are artworks by a mother-and-daughter team of artists. They call them the “Alltagsmenschen” (lit. “Everyday People”).

      In 2023, there were temporary installations of over fifty of them scattered throughout the city, including a large banquet with a long table and several statues right in front of the “Palace Arcades” Mall.

      [Here’s a newspaper article (in German language)](https://www.braunschweiger-zeitung.de/braunschweig/article238976273/Skulpturensuche-in-Braunschweig-Wo-stecken-all-die-Lechners.html) with more info. It says that the statues would likely be transported to other cities once their time in Brunswick was up.

      Phones killed what those statues depict. I remember times where you were literally able to see people doing this.

      To prevent people like you from actually enjoying a good spot and leaving garbage

      Is a way to siphon public money, previously were those colored cows allover the place.
