The narrow-than-life figure reminiscent of the world of work and the political struggles and shipyard occupation of the former shipyard workers of the AG Weser from 1983 that here the layer left. Here the workers gathered and demonstrated for the preservation of the shipyard. When they had to break off the occupation, they placed a cast iron plate in front of the work of art six months later with the quote from Brecht : “Whoever fights can lose; who does not fight has already lost".
"The figure does not appear combative or heroic, ... Otto renounces any pathos, his realistic sculpture fits Gröpelingen", is how the Weser-Kurier describes the sculpture.
