Beneath the flat roof of the Rheinauen Carré, a steel ship seems to sail on land. This isn’t a hallucination. It’s Benedikt Birckenbach’s sculpture, “Eng sind die Schiffe” (Narrow are the ships), a six-meter-high behemoth weighing 7.5 tons. The Rheinauen Carré itself, completed between 2001 and 2002, stands as a modern marvel in Bonn’s former government district. The building’s design blends glass and a massive brick facade, creating an interesting contrast. Located on Mildred-Scheel-Straße, the Rheinauen Carré offers 12,600 square meters of office space. It houses various service companies, particularly in the IT and consulting sectors. Imagine working here, with access to a renowned restaurant and ample green spaces surrounding the building. The large hallways, open areas, and interconnected floors create a pleasant and dynamic workspace. The Rheinauen Carré isn’t just an office building. It’s a testament to modern architecture, enhanced by a unique piece of art that connects the building’s form to its proximity to the Rhine. The sculpture’s title, “Narrow are the ships”, invites reflection on the bustling waterway nearby and the journeys it carries.
