Public Art \"Hammering Man\"

5 Pooja Aparajita - a year ago

Hammering Man is a series of monumental  kinetic sculptures of a painted steel silhouette of a man with motorized arm and hammer movement. They were designed by Jonathan Borofsky at different scales and painted black, to symbolize and celebrate workers throughout the world,and they were structurally engineered by Leslie E. Robertson Associates (LERA).

Before visiting Frankfurt, Germany, I was not aware of Hammering Man and the beauty of watching it live. As this hardly anywhere listed as a tourist attraction in Frankfurt. While roaming around in the streets of Frankfurt this suddenly attracted our attention. We spent a lot of good time here.

I strongly recommend tourists to visit this place admire the beauty.

That day, the weather was very eligible for a walk arround Frankfurt. And that giant man with a hamer (Hammering Man) attracted us to stop and give the moments a memory. Totally Frankfurt has a good weather. And a nice city. This picture's philosophy is to honor the people who work hard with there physical and metal powers to build there countries. For me, it was something which shows how Germans are hard working.

Easy access to the subway. Worth the trip to see this monumental kinetic sculpture.

Nice sculpture close to the skyline shopping centre. It is quite big and it moves.

It is nice to see it but it is not a main sightseeing point. If you are in the skyline shopping centre or around, you should go and see the hammering man

Not exactly a must-see attraction, but it's pretty cool. It's very big. And there's a nice park across the street.
