Petition richtet sich an: Stadt Münster, Bürgeranliegen und Beschwerden, Stadthaus 1, Klemensstrasse 10, 48127 Münster

Increasingly, it is becoming clear that in this world built by and for men, female perspectives are lacking, including in the public space (https://carolinecriadoperez.com/book/invisible-women/). The lack of public statues and art of and about women is worrisome, since A. half of the population is not represented in our streets, B. women, like men, have accomplished great things, which may inspire all citizens.
Every inhabitant of Münster, a city in the German province Northrhine-Westphalia, will acknowledge the current lack of female statues in Münster´s streets and parks. It is therefore outrageous that the large "Eisemannbrunnen" is currently being reconstructed at Münster´s Promenade right in front of the small statue of Germany´s most famous female poet, Annette von Droste-Hülshoff, which already stands hidden off-road, behind bushes.
I require the City of Münster to immediately reposition Annette von Droste-Hülshoff´s statue and give her a prominent place at the Promenade, where all pedestrians can encounter her and get inspired by her history of resilience and strength, and the magnificent poetry she has written, which is still taught at German high schools today. This should be the start of redesigning Münster´s public spaces to fairly represent all genders.
