In 1990, the city of Groningen celebrated its 950th anniversary. In honour of this, a contemporary city gate was placed along each of the city's main access roads. Architect Daniel Libeskind developed these city gates. At Sprikkenburg on the van Starkenborghkanaal stands a city gate created by artist Gunnar Daan. It is a steel structure with two transparent, stainless steel bookplates. These booklets depict the city of Groningen in two perspectives: the interior of the city and the exterior. The interior is depicted in the form of a Stoa, a colonnade. The exterior on the basis of towers merging into space.
