After the city of Hanover almost the entire area around the Friederikenplatz had acquired from government ownership and the complete breakdown of the Karmarschstraße to the there "prominent place" should be a "new city entrance," Anselm Bock was asked for there to be built river water art a to bring about appropriate artistic equipment.
