Depicting in broad strokes the structure of the City Hall’s characteristic façade, Melsheimer has added flanking human legs. While based on casts of her own legs, the ceramic limbs also refer to those of mythological figures at the Neue Palais in Potsdam, and more specifically to the 18th century penchant for faux ruins, and for combining mythological and grotesque figures in fantastic grottos. Thus the cavernous interior of the ceramic structure is filled with clusters of architectural ruins that are richly glazed.
