Before you stands the Radschläger – Design Papierfabrik Sculpture, a modern interpretation of a cherished Dusseldorf tradition. Its sleek, metallic form represents one of the city’s most beloved symbols, the Radschläger, or cartwheeler. Originally a popular pastime of Dusseldorf’s children, cartwheeling is said to have played a pivotal role in the city’s history. The sculpture, crafted by acclaimed artist Friedrich Becker, stands proudly amidst the urban landscape. It is a testament to the city’s vibrant cultural heritage and its embrace of artistic expression. Becker designed the Radschläger as a minimalist motif, capturing the essence of the cartwheeling movement. This design has been used numerous times across Dusseldorf, including as part of the city’s insignia, a door knocker on the Saint Lambertus Church, and even incorporated into a sculpture in the Schadow Arcades. This sculpture marks the 100th anniversary of Becker’s birth, a tribute to his innovative artistic legacy. Today, the Radschläger, in all its forms, stands as a constant reminder of Dusseldorf’s unique character and its people’s enduring spirit.
