The third sculpture is that of the juggler .

Roland Rother's “ Muse ” is a sculpture in Lindenstrasse at the Haus der Künste. It was set up in 1991.

The man with the frame stands for the architect, the painter for the visual artist, the curtain for the theater, the writer with Pegasus for poetry and the ball that holds the muse for folk art. The original plan was to include the names of all the Haus der Künste associations on the base . Due to the political change and the associated uncertainty, rhymes were used instead.

He sits there with lanky crossed feet and yet attentive, tense down to the roots of his hair. The girl is sitting bolt upright and has put her right foot a little forward.

The Douglas fir was probably planted in the mid-1930s when Frankfurt expanded in the direction of today's Südring and the pub opened. In 2002, due to the endangerment of the decrepit tree, its felling was ordered.

Voigt received the order for this at the end of the 1960s; at that time the street was still called Otto-Grotewohl-Straße . The work shows a fox who has stood up on its rear paws and is supported with its front paws on a wall. To the right of it stands a girl with her arms outstretched and a woman sitting behind picking the grapes. A sun shines over it all, shining from the right.

The wall design Travel to the Soviet Union is located in the Juri-Gagarin-Ring . The reliefs were created by Carola and Axel Schulz from Schwedt. The original plan was for the artists to present the preliminary draft to the city of Frankfurt in 1972 and hand over the finished work in 1972. However, this was probably not complied with, as VEB Lauchhammer only issued an invoice for the bronze casting in April 1975. The plant was then completed in 1977. Only on April 22, 1985, VEB Baustoffversorgung Frankfurt was asked by Axel Schulz for 5,000 red-colored clinker bricks. It is not certain where and whether the work was on view between 1977 and 1985. Today the factory is damaged by graffiti. Nevertheless, you can partially recognize the works. You can see the Moscow Kremlin , the Ostankino TV Tower , Kalinin Prospect and the Suzdal Monastery .

Due to the possible demolition of Block 1, the flower calyx work is currently (2006) threatened with disappearing from the cityscape.

Former works

After the Second World War, the memorial was lost. According to the city administration of Słubice, the monument was removed from its pedestal by order from Poznan and transported on a Soviet truck over the wooden bridge to Frankfurt, where its traces are lost.
