    In the middle of the roundabout in Berrenrath, a huge bucket weighing 2.5 tons from a bucket wheel excavator.
    It should remind of the history of the place.

    Is a nice waymark and reminder of a bygone time (related to the place)

    The work of art weighs just 2.5 tons
    Berrenrath has a new eye-catcher. An excavator shovel sits enthroned in the middle of the roundabout at the northern entrance to the town. The steel giant is 2.80 meters high and weighs around 2.5 tons. In its previous life it was able to swallow 6.3 cubic meters of earth in one fell swoop. At that time he sat with his 17 brothers on the gigantic bucket wheel of one of the mighty lignite excavators that are still in use in the region's opencast mines.
