Decorate your textiles with this special enamel pin modelled on the second largest portrait bust in the world. 7.1 m high and weighing 40 tonnes, the most famous landmark of Karl-Marx-Stadt, today Chemnitz, is the Karl Marx Monument in the centre of the city, inaugurated in 1971. The »Nischel«, as the monumental portrait bust is colloquially known, depicts the communist philosopher and mastermind Karl Marx, who along with Friedrich Engels and Lenin is one of the fathers of Marxist-Leninist ideology and whose writings played an important role in the GDR.
