Sculptures
designation | Location | built | Artist | Remarks | image |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
bridge | At the historic Niedermenniger oil mill ( location ) | 2007 | Thomas Link | Eighteen stones are reminiscent of the remains of a field of ruins, a mighty bridge stone lies over a stream. Created during the 2007 sculpture symposium in Konz | |
Wave and fold | South-east of the Niedermenniger oil mill on the path along the Mühlgraben ( location ) | 2007 | Johannes Michler | The sculpture refers to the geological movements of the valley. Created during the 2007 sculpture symposium in Konz | |

bridge | At a crossroads between Obermennig and Krettnach ( location ) | 2007 | Birgit Knappe | A stone split and put back together with the request to stay there. Created during the 2007 sculpture symposium in Konz | |
Pasaggio Animato | On the Wiltinger Galgenberg ( location ) | 2007 | Maria Claudia Farina | The written text on the highest element of the sculpture is a possible trace to find the reference to what has shaped the name of the place; they are dimensions that describe something and that have also determined some formal aspects of the sculpture - but it is only one of the possible approaches to this work. Created during the 2007 sculpture symposium in Konz | |
Fire jump | In the Saar meadows near Wiltingen north of the road bridge ( location ) | 2007 | Sigrún Ólafsdóttir | The “fire jump” is the result of a dialogue between me, the form and the material. In the context of the place on the old arm of the Saar, a new dialogue arises: between work of art and nature - about lightness and heaviness, about becoming and passing, about strength and tenderness, threat and consolation. Created during the 2007 sculpture symposium in Konz | |
Tulp uit Amsterdam | In the Saar meadows near Kanzem , west of the village ( location ) | 2007 | Ton Kalle | The tulip is a gift from the bottom of my heart to this beautiful vineyard with all its solar power in its wonderful grape juice. Created during the 2007 sculpture symposium in Konz |
|
meteor | On the "Goldberg" north of Wawern ( location ) | 2007 | Jürgen Waxweiler | Meteors, Greek for "floating in the air", are, in a broader sense, local, sporadic luminous phenomena in the sky and on the surface of the earth .... Developed during the 2007 sculpture symposium in Konz | |
silence | South of Tawern near the grill hut ( location ) | 2007 | Werner Bitzigeio | The steel work in Tawern is supposed to appear like a natural phenomenon that one can approach, to feel, to be moved, perhaps to be enthusiastic - it exudes dignity and impresses with its power. Created during the 2007 sculpture symposium in Konz | |
High lathe sandstone | On the banks of the Saar in Konz- Könen ( location ) | 2007 | Thomas Michler | The stone is worked in such a way that the statics and weight appear to be suspended. Created during the 2007 sculpture symposium in Konz |

earth | On the banks of the Saar just above Bibelhausen ( location ) | 2007 | Joan Thimmel | The sculpture by the Romanian artist grows out of the earth on the banks of the Saar near Biebelhausen like a rope.
