Globe since 1996 Cologne From 1996 to 2000 the illuminated globe was enthroned on the 70 meter high pylon of the Severinsbrücke in Cologne. The heavy metal frame of the globe has a diameter of eight meters and was installed on the bridge by helicopter . The widely visible illumination of the continents and the oversized earthly citizen was developed by the Cologne stage and media designer Michael Zilz.
