The Street Sweeper Statue - Monument on the Annuntiatenbach in Aachen
Amid the narrow streets of the Old Town, the little street sweeper stands quietly by the Annuntiatenbach stream, serving as a reminder of those who keep the rhythm of everyday life going. The bronze figure by Heinz Tobolla was presented to the city in 1973 and, in its simplicity, honors the lives and work of ordinary laborers. The little street sweeper looks as if he has only paused briefly before continuing his work. As you pass by him, you feel a quiet connection to the city’s history, which has been shaped not only by famous figures but also by unsung heroes.
