Comments:
The lid is located next to the old furniture store Büker - a store that has been around since 1882.
The city of Dortmund uses manhole covers to mark very old businesses, or important historical events and buildings.

BEGU is a combination of concrete and metal in the lid used by the ACO manufacturer

Photographer’s Note: Dortmund has a number of manholes in their city centre, which are actually adverts for local businesses. This one features a wind rose and is advertising bücker, a furniture shop.
