In the 1950s, old apartments were renovated with the leftover capital of the labor Cent Foundation. The bronze figure (fish-man) is at the center of the bronze shell and shows in the open right hand, a piece of money (just the labor centimes). Today's business school was built in 1943 with the help of the labor Cent Foundation. The well was therefore created as a reminder of this measure before this school.
