A new monument was revealed last weekend in Friedberg. The Elvis sculpture measures 5 meters in height and is 3.75 meters wide. The monument is placed in the middle of the roundabout near the entrance of the Capri Club in the Ray Barracks.
From now on, the first thing you’ll see if you enter the city, is a large Jailhouse Rock silhouette of Elvis. At this time, the monument serves also as a billboard for the expo in the Capri Club that ends on October 11. The monument itself will stay when the expo closes.

Frankly I think it’s a bit ugly. Maybe it’s the quality of the picture but Elvis looks like he should either have a horse under him or a toilet. I do like the cut out appearance but what’s with the guitar? Looks out of place if you ask me. Anyway any tribute to the King of Rock & Roll is a good one I suppose. Art is not always pretty they say.
