Artistic boulder on Bethlehemkirchplatz, dowtown Berlin. Various household items and pieces of furniture seem to be tied to this ball.
This piece of pop art reminds of Bohemian (Czech) refugees who found a new home in Prussia in the 18th century.
The oversized bundle stands for the belongings they brought to this very part of Berlin, the Friedrichstadt, where many of them settled down for good and built their “Church of Bethlehem” (Bethlehemkirche) of which there is nothing left but a floor plan recently paved into the sidewalk.
