Neuer Eiserner Mann, Bronze sculpture at Museum Kurhaus, Kleve, Germany.

The bronze sculpture, created by Stephan Balkenhol in 2004, depicts a modern man in black pants and white shirt standing on a golden sphere.

The sculpture replaced an earlier Iron Man monument from 1653 that represented Mars and was destroyed by French revolutionary troops in 1749.

The contemporary figure holds a sword, establishing a connection between modern artistic expression and the historical Baroque period of the region.

The sculpture, measuring 84.5 x 22 x 20 centimeters, stands on a bronze base and carries an estimated value between 10,000 and 15,000 euros.

The figure reflects uncertainty through its posture and relationship with the sword, marking a departure from traditional heroic monument representations.
