VUV symbol in Wolfsburg sparks derision and amusement.
In the heart of Wolfsburg, a city known for its ice rink and arena, a peculiar sign has been causing quite a stir. The sign, located between the Volkswagen Arena and the bar "Wobacabana", reads "Caution: Entering the ice surface at your own risk". However, during the summer months, the ice surface is typically closed or melted, making the sign seem out of place and causing confusion among residents and visitors alike.
The sign, despite its controversial nature, has become a topic of discussion on Facebook. Many have found humor in its presence during high temperatures, with expressions like "Genial!" (German for 'brilliant' or 'genius') and "Very cool" accompanied by numerous laughing emojis in the comments. One comment under the picture of the sign reads, "‘Caution: Direct sunlight and heat' is still missing."
The city of Wolfsburg, known for its abundance of signs on streets and footpaths, has stated that the installation and removal of signs would require a high personnel effort, making it impractical to change the signs seasonally. This could explain the sign's permanence, even during the off-season months.
Interestingly, the sign's location near the Autostadt Summer Festival may have contributed to its notoriety. The festival, which took place in Wolfsburg, attracted a large crowd, and the sign, with its clear and understandable message, despite its timely or inappropriate perception, became a laughing stock.
Despite the winter season being far off, the sight of the sign might give some people a cool thought, reminding them of the ice-cold winter days ahead. However, the town hall's response indicates that the signs will remain in place, even beyond the summer season.
This unusual sign in Wolfsburg adds an unexpected twist to the city's streetscape, offering a unique talking point for locals and visitors alike. As the summer progresses, it will be interesting to see if the sign continues to cause a stir or if it becomes a beloved landmark in the city.
