Adam - kadmon or Madam by sculptor Christian Lemmertz (erected in 2000).

The sculpture is 2.4 meters high and is located on a plinth of polished, black Chinese granite, bearing in Braille is inscribed the words "Noli Me Tangere", latin for "do not touch me."

The sculpture is a variation on the classic Hermes- figure with the child Dionysos of Antiquity. The sculpture is altered, one sandal is replaced with a women's shoe, the otherwise male genitalia are replaced with the female, like Dionysus - the child - has been given an old man's face and a puncture wound in the side, with which the ancient references added to a Christian impulse by referring to the crucified Jesus. In the idiom reused as the ancient statue in a way, so the tradition deconstructed and staged in a new way, a way which has aroused strong emotions, and of observers has been called both provocative and charming.
