Da Gummi
Another interesting statue seen in Koblenz Germany.
Peter Schneider, a hawker who walked from door to door trying to sell braces, laces and newspapers.
His nickname comes from a certain disease he suffered from; a form of neuropathy which affected his way of walking, causing strange looking movements of his limbs.
People were reminded of caoutchouc and therefore named him 'rubber'.
