Demokratikus - Staircase beetle no. 18

Highlight • Monument

Is democracy on the brink? What are the students of the Youth Art School trying to tell the viewer with this beetle? If I'm honest, it looks like a little devil angrily kicking its legs to me.
It was designed by students of the Youth Art School. Thanks to financial support from the residents of Nordhausen, the beetle was installed at the city library in 2016.

I would also like to attach a post I found:
A warning to all elected representatives: Don't sit idle like our democrat!

There are 24 other stair beetles, one of which is unfortunately missing.

Water Axis

Highlight • Structure

The 40 meter long water axis begins at the foot of the Petersberg and runs between the buildings to Rautenstrasse. Nordhausen artists designed the area around the water axis with the bronze figures “Traveling Dog,“ Imperial King ”and“ Vigilante ”, a group of ravens.

The street of the same name runs directly from the train station; a few houses from the Wilhelminian era have still been preserved here. The shopping street with hotel, shops, ice cream parlor and snack chains. Nordhausen also has tram lines, one runs through Bahnhofstrasse to the main station.
