tiger-gruppe

The bronze tiger group at the industrial complex the company in the Bismarckstraße was errected in 1959 for then-company owner Karl Goetze (1903-1973) according the logo of his Northwest paper mills. These highly tear-resistant products which were produced here since 1936 were known as “Tiger Force”. This “Hagenbeck tiger” stood as model for the sculptor of this monument, Erdmann Scholz from Hamburg.
