Uelzen's crazy chicken: a monument to Reinhard Schamuhn!

Uelzen, Deutschland - Reinhard Schamuhn, the "crazy chicken" from Uelzen, has blown up the borders of Germany with its spectacular art campaigns! Known for his extravagant ideas, he caused a stir with an extraordinary contribution to monument protection: he married the Paris Eiffel Tower! This daring feat made him famous far beyond the city limits and amazed people.

But that wasn't everything! Schamuhn was also a political whirlwind in Uelzen who mixed up local politics and founded his own theater. His commitment to the community and culture is obvious. With the series "Legends next door", NDR culture has been looking for people who are particularly committed to freedom, humanity and culture in northern Germany. Schamuhn is undoubtedly one of these legends!
