first of all: unfinished due to lack of time - had to be in the office this weekend, final version after the challenge then.

looking for a motive for the challenge i didn't want to do the obvious and just pick one of the monuments for the numerous victories vs. france from the days when we didn't have football =)

and as i've always had some commie pixel on my todo-list i decided to do the karl marx monument, located in chemnitz, some 40 minutes from here (formerly 'karl-marx-stadt' in the gdr-era).

so, no, despite my fascination for these guys it neither is bud spencer nor ilkke =)

oh, to satisfy one's curiosity for background information: the monument was built in 1971, is 13 meters large (with the head having a diameter of roughly 7 meters) and stands in front of a 95-tile bronze-mosaic (bronze-pixels, guys!) that bears "workers of all lands unite!" in 4 languages.
