Modern versions:
A modern work of art by an American Martha Rosler. She conceived an entire installation in different places of the city called “Unsettling the Fragments”. The “eagle” fragment exists outside the entrance to the Münster Arcades. The eagle at the Arcades is a replica, but the original can still be seen today at the former Lufttransportkommando (air force transport command) of the Wehrmacht (now the Bundeswehr), which was established in 1935 under the direction of Ernst Sagebiel. However, the swastika that the eagle was holding in its claws was chiseled off after 1945 – its picture can be seen above.
