“This piece looks so full of life, don’t you think?” The Begegnung Sculpture stands before you, a testament to a complex period in history. Created in 1985 by the artist Reinhardt Dietrich, the sculpture depicts the peaceful coexistence of the seven countries that bordered the Baltic Sea during the time of the German Democratic Republic. The sculpture’s title, “Seven proud sisters are kissed by one sea”, reflects this sentiment perfectly. This work of art is more than just a static display. It represents a time when hope for unity and cooperation resonated, even amidst political division. Take a moment to appreciate the craftsmanship, the way Dietrich brought his vision of harmony to life in bronze. As you leave this spot, carry the message of the Begegnung Sculpture with you. It’s a reminder that peace and understanding can blossom, even in the most challenging of times.
