Path of the stones (Uelzen)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The “stone of flora”, detail

The path of the stones in Uelzen leads from the Hundertwasser train station to the city center. 21 large-format boulders were worked on by the German-Swedish artist Dagmar Glemme and painted with sometimes fantastic and mystical motifs. It was set up in 2008. A simple brass plate is anchored in the ground near each stone, but it only indicates the name of the stone and the artist. Further explanations are missing. The first stone is the "stone of flora"

The stones themselves are up to three meters high and weigh up to eight tons.

Most of the stones stand as a single monument, but there are two groups:

  • In front of the Ramelow department store there are three thematically related stones: The stone group of three unities: "Freedom", "Happiness" and "Inner Strength"
  • The end of the chain in the Herzogenpark is the “Stone of Wisdom” with four stone armchairs that symbolize the four elements.
