Germany’s 7th largest city claims to be the inventor of the cartwheel. The gymnastic maneuver has a long history in the city stemming, perhaps apocryphally, from winning the battle of Worringen in 1288. Celebrations ensued with children(Düsseldorfer Radschläger) doing cartwheels. Since then, children were given a small award for performing the act and it became embedded in the city’s culture. So much so that there are sculptures dedicated to it and of course this cover, which can be found all over the city center. Dusseldorf is a fashion and art city with some of the best-dressed citizenry in the world. Well worth the visit to people watch, maybe some doing cartwheels and to track down these covers.
