You can’t miss it. The Plastische Säule. A towering, abstract form that stands bravely against the backdrop of the Rheinpark. It’s a reminder that even in the midst of urban life, art can exist in unexpected places. The Plastische Säule was created in 1963 by Karl Hartung, a renowned German painter and sculptor. Originally designed as a “Kunst am Bau” piece for the Clara-Schumann-Gymnasium, fate intervened, and it found its final home here in the Rheinpark. The sculpture, crafted from Roman travertine on a travertine base, stands at a majestic height of six meters. The Plastische Säule is much more than just a sculpture. It is a symbol of Dusseldorf’s vibrant cultural scene, a beacon that draws visitors from all over the world. It was once almost forgotten, lost under layers of dirt and grime. A testament to the relentless passage of time and the neglect that beauty can endure. But now, it stands proud and shining, a reminder that even in the shadow of urban renewal, the enduring beauty of art will always find its way back to us.
