For seven years, she stood outside the head office in Arnhem, until the renovation in 1972. After some detours, there was no longer room for her and she ended up in the front yard of one of the employees. After ‘Marietje’s saviour’ passed away, Vrouwe Electra returned to Alliander, in Duiven this time. Marietje was considered a symbol of women doing technical work.
