United Buddy Bears

One World Buddy Bear
Eva and Klaus Herlitz, Exhibition in Saint Petersburg, 2012

Buddy Bears are painted, life-size fiberglass bear sculptures developed by German businesspeople Klaus and Eva Herlitz, in cooperation with sculptor Roman Strobl. They have become a landmark of Berlin and are considered unofficial ambassadors of Germany. The outstretched arms of the standing Buddy Bear symbolise friendliness and optimism.[1] The first bears were displayed at an artistic event in Berlin in 2001.[2]
