Loriot-Sofa

Loriot-Sofa, Bronze sculpture at Radio Bremen headquarters in Mitte, Germany.

The Loriot-Sofa is a bronze sculpture in front of the Radio Bremen broadcasting centre on Diepenau in Bremen-Mitte. It reproduces the green couch from Loriot's television series, with a pug sitting on the seat. Sculptor Monke Herbert Rauer of Osnabrück made it in 2013 from a photograph, and it was unveiled on 10 November 2013, Vicco von Bülow's 90th birthday.

Radio Bremen commissioned the sculpture in 2013 to honor the 90th birthday of Vicco von Bülow, who created his television series there in 1976. The creation marks the recognition of his artistic legacy at that location.

The green sofa was the set where Loriot and Evelyn Hamann introduced the sketches and cartoons of his 1976 Radio Bremen series. The bronze pug refers to Loriot's own dogs and his line: "A life without a pug is possible, but pointless." Since 2010 Bremen's Stadtmusikanten prize has carried a print of his drawing of the town musicians.

The bronze sofa stands on the pavement in front of the entrance to Radio Bremen's broadcasting centre on Diepenau, in the Stephaniviertel district. The original green sofa from the television series is kept inside the building's foyer, where it has been displayed since 2011. The bronze outside is a sculpture to look at, not a seat to climb on.

The pug on the bronze sofa refers to Loriot's own dogs and to his line: "A life without a pug is possible, but pointless." The sculptor Monke Herbert Rauer of Osnabrück made the piece in 2013 after a photograph, and it was unveiled on 10 November 2013, Loriot's 90th birthday.
