Seven vibrant concrete steles. That’s what greets you here at the Plastische Körper – Große Blüten sculpture. They stand tall, adorned with ceramic blossoms, bursting with color. Located in the Akazienwäldchen Park near Springfuhlpark, this sculpture is more than just concrete and ceramic. It’s a testament to the artistic spirit of East Berlin. The Plastische Körper – Große Blüten, which translates to “Plastic Bodies – Large Blossoms,” was completed in 1984. It was a collaborative effort by artists Robert Rehfeldt, Wolfgang Weber, and Horst Göhler. These artists envisioned a splash of color against the backdrop of the then-new large housing estate. Imagine the contrast: stark concrete buildings softened by these playful, oversized flowers. Each stele is shield or trowel-shaped, reaching a height of approximately 3.5 meters. On both sides of these steles, you’ll see the ceramic flowers, each one uniquely glazed. The flowers are nestled in half-spherical shapes, adding another layer of texture and depth to the sculpture. The Plastische Körper – Große Blüten wasn’t just meant to be admired from afar. It was designed to be part of the community, integrated into the everyday lives of the residents. As you walk among the steles, take a moment to appreciate the craftsmanship. The vibrant colors of the ceramic blossoms, against the gray concrete, create a striking visual. The Plastische Körper – Große Blüten sculpture stands as a symbol of creativity and resilience, a vibrant bloom in the heart of Berlin-Marzahn.
