For the sun room of the Ratskeller in the town hall of Hagen Dörner made a gold-plated sphere that represents the sun on a scale of 1: 1 billion . It represents the center of the Hagen planetary model, with which, at the suggestion of the city archivist Walter KB Holz, the planetary orbits are mapped through pavement slabs in the Hagen city area.
