The Salzgitter-Bad Sculpture Trail was built between 1999 and 2018 on the southern edge of Salzgitter-Bad , a district of Salzgitter in Lower Saxony , Germany.

Steel sculptures

The ten steel sculptures (as of 2018) are part of the European Road of Peace , which leads from Paris to Moscow. This art street goes back to an idea of ​​the sculptor Otto Freundlich from 1928.

Salzgitter is shaped by the earlier ore mining and smelting in the region by Salzgitter AG . So far, the artists have been able to set up ten steel sculptures that stand in the tension between landscape, technology and history of the city. The city of Salzgitter sees the sculptures in dialogue with the surrounding area, art and internationality, understanding between peoples and meeting people. The Executive Board of the Salzgitter Group wants to use steel as a material to tie in with the history and importance of the steel town of Salzgitter and is promoting the art project.

Nine sculptures were erected between 1999 and 2009; the last sculpture for the time being was erected in October 2018. Five steel sculptures stand on the edge of the Mahner Berg golf course , another two in Greifpark , and the remaining three near the thermal brine bath .

The curator of this project is the artist Gerd Winner, who also created two of the sculptures.
