United Buddy Bears
Buddy Bears are a series of painted, life-size fibreglass bear sculptures originally developed in Berlin, Germany. The first Buddy Bear was created by the German businesspeople Klaus and Eva Herlitz, in cooperation with the sculptor Roman Strobl in 2001.
The two concepts ''Buddy Bears'' and United Buddy Bears stand for two very different types of activity. The ''Buddy Bears'' are an urban event, comparable to other events with a great diversity of animal sculptures that bring new life into many city centres. The ''United Buddy Bears'', however, are primarily about their message - a message of peace, international understanding and tolerance among the nations, cultures and religions of this world.〔()〕

The first activities were presented as the ''Buddy Bear Berlin Show''. In 2001, artists painted approximately 350 bears to appear in the public domain, as decorative elements in the streets of Berlin. Four different bear designs (one standing on all four paws, one standing on two legs, one standing on its head and one in a sitting position) took part in this activity in the city centre of Berlin.〔(Buddy Bears on the streets of Berlin ), 2001.〕 Afterwards, many of the bears were sold at auctions in aid of child relief organisations. Nowadays, these Berlin Buddy Bears are exclusively presented on private premises, in front of hotels and embassies as well as in the foyers of various office buildings.
There have already been exhibitions of the original ''Buddy Bears'' — designed by local artists — in the cities of Shanghai (2004), Buenos Aires (2005) and St. Gallen / Switzerland (2006).
