Beschreibung / Description

The former main post office displays several sculptures on its facade. Most involve coats of arms and ornaments. However, there are two unusual sculptures: one forts a man pointing a writing stylus at a globe he holds in his hand. The other is a similar sculpture, but here the man is holding a tablet with the year 1881.
