The German chancellor rides the horse with a characteristic hand gesture and in his characteristic trouser suit.

Visitors to the Tempel Museum in Etsdorf are presented with a shocking sight: in front of the building stands a human-sized equestrian statue of the outgoing German chancellor. He rides the horse with a characteristic hand gesture and in his characteristic trouser suit.

"Why why?" - the question arises in everyone's mind, to which the creator gives a direct evasive answer. The mastermind is Wilhelm Koch, who has been creating perplexing art projects for decades. This work of his is also deliberately contradictory. "Is this recognition or irony," asked Koch, who is of course aware that a horse statue in 2021 is just as absurd as horse-drawn carriages starting in Formula 1.
