Dreckschnabel is a peculiar sculpture. It’s some kind of a funny monster, a bit tricky, with a smile that seems to hide something. The name Dreckschnabel was invented by the artist and means dirt-beak. Actually the beak of the monster has an ingot piece of iron that will always corrode and drip brown water on the ground. Sometimes the monster carries an empty beer bottle, left by some drunk people. The university researched the appreciation of the people for this sculpture. It proved to be favorite to young people.
