Gazing at the Lesende statue, one might wonder about the stories she holds. Here on Wendenstraße, the Lesende, also known as “Die Lesende,” stands as a quiet observer. Created by Eberhard Reppold, this bronze sculpture depicts a young woman engrossed in her book. The Lesende is more than just a statue. She represents a connection to a time when art thrived in public spaces, reminding us of the importance of art in our everyday lives. The Lesende statue has a mysterious past. It was believed to be missing for a period, possibly residing in the ega-park before returning to its current location on Wendenstraße. This air of mystery adds to the statue’s allure. Notice the gentle curve of her back as she leans into her reading. The detail in the folds of her clothing and the way she holds her book suggests a comfortable familiarity with the written word. It’s as if she invites us to share in the joy of reading, lost in our own worlds of imagination. The Lesende is a testament to the power of public art. She stands as a symbol of contemplation and the pursuit of knowledge, a gentle reminder to pause and appreciate the simple act of reading amidst the bustling city.
