Gaze upon Die Krähhe. This bronze crow isn’t just any bird. It’s a work of art. Arie van Selm the Dutch artist sculpted it. Die Krähhe sits perched proudly. Its location is the EUREF-Campus in Berlin-Schöneberg.
The crow’s dark patina contrasts beautifully with its bronze base. Its gaze is fixed on the distance. It’s a starkly stylized figure. You almost miss it against the grey tones of the building. It’s a subtle masterpiece.
Originally Die Krähhe resided near a café by the water tower. Now it enjoys a more prominent position. It sits atop the entrance to the GASAG building. The crow symbolizes the gasometer. Many real crows nest on its steel framework. Van Selm often features crows in his work. Some are standing. Others are sitting.
Reinhard Müller commissioned the sculpture. He’s the founder and CEO of EUREF AG. He curated the art collection. Die Krähhe is one of several sculptures gracing the EUREF campus. It’s a symbol of the area’s transformation.
The sculpture’s placement isn’t accidental. It represents the industrial history of the area. The crow a symbol of resilience and adaptation. It perfectly reflects the area’s transformation from industrial site to a modern campus.
Die Krähhe’s history is more than just its location. It speaks to the artist’s vision. It speaks of the campus’s evolution. The crow sits silently. Yet it speaks volumes. Its dark eyes seem to watch over the bustling campus. It’s a symbol of the past. A symbol of a new beginning.
Observe Die Krähhe carefully. Note the details. Let its presence inspire you. It’s more than just a sculpture. It’s a story. A story of transformation resilience and beauty. A truly memorable piece of Berlin’s art scene.
