The Frankfurt artist Silke Wagner started organizing the sidewalk action in various German cities starting in 2001. She placed a "Lufttransa Deportation Class" sign on a VW bus and let anti-fascist and anti-discrimination groups use it. She thus triggered a public discussion about the use of Lufthansa airplanes for deportations. In Vienna, the 2005 installation was part of The New Europe.Culture of Intermingling and Politics of Representation exhibition.
