The legendary neon sign "Essen – Die Einkaufsstadt" (Essen – The Shopping City) on the roof of the Handelshof in Essen is history. In the context of the Folkwang Year 2022, temporarily the phrase "Essen – Die Folkwangstadt" (Essen – The Folkwang City) illuminated the roof as a replacement. Removed in late 2024.
