De Omgeving van de Mens is de Medemens

Jules Deelder

It was high time a fitting line of poetry from our city's hero and municipal poet laureate Jules Deelder appeared somewhere in the public space of Rotterdam. 'de omgeving van de mens is de medemens' (your fellow man is your environment). Now this line is really in the right environment in this section of Rotterdam at the Nieuwe Binnenweg 125, which is becoming ever more inviting, where the poet himself lives right in the neighbourhood. On Tuesday, 1 November, 2011 this homage to the 'night mayor' of Rotterdam was unveiled by the poet himself.

At the request of Rabobank Rotterdam and the City of Rotterdam Mothership acted as curator and producer for this project. With thanks to Woonstad Rotterdam.
