'Siegfried Sommer' by Max Wagner
Munich, Germany.
Day Two. In the evening we headed in a different direction in search of two other Christmas markets. The first one was at Sendlinger Tor. Then we wandered up and down that area looking for the Pink Market. Which we found eventually!
And then back through Sendlinger Tor, where we stumbled on another little Christmas market. Time for one last gluhwein!
Siegfried "Sigi" Sommer (born 23 August 1914 in Munich ; died 25 January 1996 in Munich) was a German writer and journalist.
At the age of 81, Sigi Sommer died after a long period of suffering in the Rinecker Clinic in Munich and was buried in the Neuhauser Winthir Cemetery in Munich (grave no. 4-5-5). In his hometown of Munich, he was honoured with a life-size bronze statue by the sculptor Max Wagner, which shows him as a stroller with a newspaper under his right arm. The statue, donated by the publishing family RS Schulz, stands in the pedestrian zone at Roseneck in Rosenstraße and was unveiled on 28 July 1998. In 2009, the square in front of his parents' house at Bruderhofstraße 43 in Munich was renamed " Sigi-Sommer-Platz " by the city of Munich on the initiative of his cousin Helga Lauterbach-Sommer.
