The “What If?” sculpture was inaugurated on November 6th 2012. It has become a focal point a real eyecatcher. Imagine the discussions the selection process must have involved. Many artists submitted works. Dahlhausen’s creation was deemed the most fitting. It perfectly complements the architectural design by Jürgensen Architects from Cologne.
