The dream ship "Tante Olga", built by Anatol for documenta 6 in 1977, anchors on the open-air grounds of the Heinrich Schütz School.
The fantasy boat stranded on the meadow looks like a paper boat folded by children. In it, Anatol, pulled by a barge, travelled for a week from the North Sea resort of Dangast across the Jadebusen, the Weser and the Fulda to the opening of documenta 6 in Kassel. The ambassador of the artists' association "Freie Akademie Oldenburg" wanted to use the boat to bring children's dreams to the documenta city. It is dedicated to Olga Tapken, the landlady of the Kurhaus in Dangast, on whose grounds Anatol's "Free Academy" developed creatively. During the exhibition, the dream ship was presented in the middle of the Karlswiese in front of the Orangerie. After being donated to the Heinrich Schütz School, it ended up at its current location.
