Like the Ampelmännchen (traffic lightsman) of Berlin, a red or green "pitcher mariner" from Tilburg has been waiting or going through since Sunday. Eleventh of the eleventh artist, Marieke Vromans unveiled the first copy of the fire that she designed. It is located in Piusplein, in the center of the city of Brabant.
,, The pitcher is a symbol of the history of the city and its origin, "says Vromans, Tilburg had a large textile industry.The figurine of the pitcher is a textile worker, who goes to the factory with its own urine to wash the wool.
,, The pitch jug is a badge worn proudly during the carnival, "says Vromans. . But even outside the carnival period, the Tilburgians can be proud of their city, according to the artist.
Initially, eleven of the new traffic lights are placed in the city. In green light, the male advances with his jug. In red, he fills it.
Residents who want a pitcher's Sunday light in their neighborhood and "let the work grow," as Vromans says, can account for it. A copy costs around 850 euros.
There are more and more cities with special lights. For example, Utrecht has the Nijntjestoplicht, Vienna was the first "gay traffic light" of the city with two puppets of the same sex and a car manufacturer in 2014 a traffic light with a dancing character in Lisbon.
