A fundraising campaign with a crowdfunding campaign was started a few months ago, and for the time being more than 5000 euros has been collected. For the time being too little to put a beautiful statue of Elvis on the famous bridge in the Zanderstrasse in the center of Bad Nauheim. It was exactly on this bridge where Elvis leaned nonchalantly on the handrail in February '59 while he was being photographed for a photo shoot.
