A pocket sized Arc de Triomphe. The ground covering shrub in front should be box honeysuckle (Lonicera nitida). Other popular park and quod shrubs of somewhat similar appearance are Snowball (Symphoricarpos), Ilex and Rockspray (Cotoneaster horizontalis). You are probably justified in suspecting genetic engineering should the actual Arc de Triomphe be similarly overgrown. Traffic intense location is known under different names. (Place de l'Étoile).

Looks serious. A mainlining bunny in a Hansel and Gretel cage. Whatever the particular reference we still live in the best of all worlds. [Suboptimal angle, Westminster Abbey problem, simply too overcrowded with plaques.]

A Schtrumf (a Smurf by any other name). Always a safe bet.

I will be dipped in shellac (no true bronze). The belly shot looks nasty.

The calligraphic hand looks somewhat shaky. As for the motive, krypton vision no doubt a help.

a professional sculpture for once. (Nuss style but apparently no true Nuss. Before the time of the present staff. Untagged. Best guess, early 60ties.)

The dowelled protuberances proclaim this a climbing wall. Detail: hexagonal sockets. The grip blocks and footrests come usually in chewing gum colors. Ignore the actual contest rules (upwards, sidewards). That particular fashion started after my time. - As for the circular logo, I do not have a clue.

4 o'clock in the afternoon if Kindergarden years were included. The reverse count down for institutes of secondary learning was phased out in the 50ties. Regional differences.  Bottom line: It happened.

Boehringer, a Pfizer competitor rather than a rocket scientist. Half moons are probably easier to depict than cardiovascular drugs. (Most be good for something if it makes you squint like that.)  - Minor demerit: Africa is shrunk rather than foreshortened.
