Bike path chapel "Island of Peace"
The cycle path chapel "Insel der Ruhe" is an open chapel from 2014 in Erbendorf , designed by the artist Erwin Otte. The work of art was commissioned by the city of Erbendorf, and the construction was funded by the European Regional Development Fund .
place
The cycle path chapel is located directly on the Kurweg, near the connecting path to Immanuel-Kant-Straße, Erbendorf.
The location was chosen so that the line of sight leads to the main churches of Erbendorf, the parish church of the Assumption of Mary and the Martin Luther Church.
Artistic design
The cycle path chapel consists of four granite walls that are connected by yellow glass windows and a glass cross made of stainless steel. According to the artist, the band plays with light like this: “This [s] points at the same time to the breadth and infinity of faith. Towards heaven, this light-open space should lead us into consciousness of the intact creation as the basis of all life. "
A granite block serves as a seat and a bilingual board on the Kurweg contains the artist's thoughts.
Others
The cycle path chapel was soiled several times and smeared with sentences critical of religion, most recently in 2018.
In the Corona year 2020 it was part of the station path with flower decorations, which served as a replacement for the Corpus Christi procession .
