Well, I was right about the motive behind the mysterious concrete footballs. Turns out the guys behind them "feel that they have been misunderstood as artists", with their intent behind the rather-too-solid balls being to symbolise football as a mass phenomonen etc. etc. The Berliner Zeitung has more information (German only).

All 16 "installations" have disappeared in the meantime, making Berlin once again safe for casual kickers of footballs.
