Die Litfaßsäule - Advertising Pillar

             It was invented by the german printer Ernst Litfaß about 1854. He got from the city administration of Berlin the exclusive rights to erect these pillars, the till nowadays so called: "Litfaßsäule", in the beginning "Annonciersäule" ("annoncieren" = old german word for advertising). They have been used to inform the public for news. The first "war dispatches / telegrams 1870/1871 had been published this way. Later the Litfaßsäulen" were mainly used for advertising. In the year 2005 there have been still 51000 of these pillars in use in Germany, but also they could be seen in Vienna.
This one is an advertising pillar at the Rhine river banks in Düsseldorf, in the background the television tower which belongs to the typical silhouette of Düsseldorf city. Since 2001 the artist Christoph Pöggeler presents sculptures of typical regional people on a part of these pillars. It`s an art project called "Säulenheilige" (Saints of the pillars).
