Maybe provocative or sexy. I wouldn't call it "slutty" though?

"But the cemetery officials are not alone in criticising Ungerer’s memorial. Photographer Günther Zint, another friend of Niehoff, told the newspaper, “There was a bit of a debate among her friends whether Tomi needed to emphasise her breasts like that. They were after all a bane of her life.”

Niehoff, who gained fame for advocating the rights of sex workers in the 70s and 80s, died at age 63 in February 2009.

Originally from Cologne, Niehoff lived through drugs, child prostitution and desperate attempts to get out of the sex trade. She grew up in an orphanage before slipping into prostitution, when she married a brothel owner, who committed suicide ten years later.

She worked as a prostitute in Munich and Hamburg and had her own brothel before she began to push for the legalisation of prostitution in Germany in the 1980s. She then became a social worker to help women to get off the street."

Perhaps a monument honoring her good works (and human dignity) would have been more fitting. After all, from reading her brief biog, sex shaped her unhappy life - can't she be free from it in death?

Her breasts were the tools of her trade. There's another tool in this picture too but evidently it's pretty subliminal because nobody seems to be upset about it at all.

cool comment......and food for thought.

Sex isn't bad and nothing to escape or be free from. It's what some people do with sex that is bad.

No one is saying that sex is bad or something to escape from. We are discussing the late Domenica Niehoff; who tried to escape the life and had some success in her social work. My point was - and remains - that since she was a child prostitute she made great efforts to be something else. To be defined as something more than a large pair of breasts and yet a so called friend chooses to commemorate her life in the basest manner possible. Look into the face in the photograph and imagine how she'd like to be remembered: as a tireless worker who fought for the rights and safety of her fellows or as a lifelong prostitute with a monument that just recalls her large breasts?

Domenica would have liked my design. She was not ashamed of herself,” he said.

That's the sentence that threw me off. Sorry everyone, my mistake.

No problem
