Hidden within Hohenhorstpark in Hamburg-Rahlstedt, the Summstein sculpture stands as an unusual testament to community engagement. It’s part of an exercise trail, born not from artistic vision alone, but from the direct requests of the local residents. The Summstein isn’t just a static piece to admire from a distance. It’s designed for interaction, for playful exploration of sound and sensation. Find the hollow, the “humming hole,” and lean in. Hum a note, any note, and feel the Summstein respond. The sculpture’s unique design amplifies and transforms your hum into a subtle vibration. A low hum might create a gentle tingle. A higher pitch could produce a stronger, more pronounced sensation. Experiment with different tones and volumes, and discover the Summstein’s hidden symphony. This unassuming stone, tucked away in the park, invites you to connect with sound, with your body, and with the community that brought it into being. The Summstein serves as a reminder that art can be interactive, playful, and a direct reflection of the people it serves.
