In English there is the beautiful expression of the “elephant in the room”, which is very big, but seemingly not discovered by anyone.

Even if in a china store with an elephant – to use a German elephant image – the cups just tumble off the walls, people tend to believe in an earthquake rather than in the role of the elephant.
