Large Neeberger figure

The large Neeberger figure is a sculpture in the Magdeburg Sculpture Park in Magdeburg's old town and in the Altenburg Palace Park next to the Lindenau Museum .

plastic

The sculpture was created by the sculptor Wieland Förster and was created with several revisions between 1971 and 1974 and 1997. It is considered one of the most important works of sculpture in the GDR . The work is made of bronze and is 3.18 meters high. It depicts a woman with her arms stretched upwards, the proportions clearly overstretched. The figure is only clothed with a piece of cloth that covers the face and shoulders and rests on the breasts. The "body landscape" of the nude is thus emphasized in a special way. The woman seems frozen in undressing.

The sculpture represents eroticism and numbness and is therefore an expression of both love and death.
