The relief Germany and Ossietzky was carved for an exhibition at Notre Dame des Monts in France in 1993. The work was accompanied by a brief text. News reports along the Atlantic coast spread information about the relief’s existence. Word reached as far as Hamburg, Carl von Ossietzky’s home town. Money was raised, and the relief was purchased and donated to the Museum für Hamburgische Geschichte (Museum for Hamburg History). The Mayor of Hamburg presented it to the city library, where it now hangs in the Carl von Ossietzky Room.
The relief was lent to the Kulturhuset cultural centre in Stockholm in 2000, where it was exhibited as part of “Fire!” (Det Brinner!).
