I always saw this monument from our lab or to be more precise lab of Professor Dr Karl-Hermann Neumann , (where I had a chance to work as Alexander von Humboldt Fellow) as it was across the road.
It dipicts some metal rods piercing the stones. Ideas of some people help advancement of mankind in forward directions and make history.
