Kiepenkerl was originally a sandstone statue of a travelling merchant created by August Schmiemann in Münster, Germany, in 1896. Destroyed in World War II, it was re-created in cast metal by Albert Mazzotti Jr in 1953. The statue now stands in a small square in the Old Quarter of Münster. In 1987 American sculptor Jeff Koons created a replica of the design in polished cast stainless steel.
