Statue Imperia in Constance, Germany

The Imperia in the harbour of Konstanz (Constance) on Bodensee (Lake Constance) is a satirical reminder of the Council of Constance (1414-1418). The statue, created by Peter Lenk in 1993, turns slowly on its own axis and presents an emperor and a pope in its raised hands. [German]
