“What a strange sculpture! What is it supposed to represent?”
You might find yourself asking this very question as we stand here before the Wegzeichen Sculpture. This striking piece, created by the artist Erich Lethgau, is one of five sculptures thoughtfully placed along the path leading from Brüder-Grimm-Ring to the Sporthalle. Installed in 1976, the Wegzeichen Sculpture has witnessed the city’s evolution while silently marking this particular route. It’s a testament to Lübeck’s commitment to integrating art into everyday life. Take a moment to appreciate its abstract form. What emotions does it evoke in you? While the Wegzeichen Sculpture itself may not have a widely known history, it represents the spirit of Lübeck – a city that embraces both its rich past and its dynamic present.
