S-Printing Horse, Heidelberg, Steel sculpture at Print Media Academy in Heidelberg, Germany.

The S-Printing Horse, constructed from stainless steel and aluminum, measures 13 meters high, 15 meters long, and weighs 90 tons.

German sculptor Jürgen Goertz created this monumental work in 2000 to mark the 150th anniversary of Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG.

The sculpture integrates elements of printing technology, with holes in its neck mirroring the bearings of printing cylinders and rotating features on its flanks.

The tail section forms an abstract book that illuminates at night in cyan, magenta, and yellow, visible from the central train station.

The three-legged horse design leaves mechanical hoof prints in the pavement, incorporating fossil patterns from the Swabian Jura region.
