The Tuffi-Störstein in Wuppertal is more than a sculpture; it's a memorial to the remarkable tale of Tuffi the elephant. Created by artist Bernd Bergkemper and erected on September 10, 2020, this basalt sculpture marks the historic moment in 1950 when Tuffi leapt from the moving monorail into the Wupper River. It serves as both an artwork and a memorial.
