"ℹ️ INSIDER INFO: Based on errearra.org: Did you know that a mountain in Jerusalem (Mount Herzl) was named after Herzl Tivadar? The Austro-Hungarian writer, born in Pest in 1860, in a house on Dohány Street, is buried here, on this hill in Jerusalem, in the National Pantheon.
Why Kolodko placed the mini-sculpture in front of the Dohány Street Synagogue? Because app. the house on Dohány Street where Herzl Tivadar was born stood on this spot. And why is Herzl Tivadar standing in front of a bicycle? On the one hand, because this is one of the sections of road that receives the most cyclists in Budapest, and on the other hand, Kolodko found a photograph where Herzl is photographed with his bicycle, and this image served as a model.

"Tivadar Herzl was a Jewish Austrian-Hungarian journalist, writer and political activist who became known as the father of modern Zionism.
You can find Herzl with his bike (most likely inspired by a photo taken similar to this in Austria) appropriately placed near the Dohány Street Synagogue in the 7th district. Across from the sculpture, you’ll find his birth site, which is now the Jewish Museum."
