CALLING FOR PEACE

The design for this work was awarded 1st prize in the Bürgerstiftung Weinheim art competition for a work of public art. Since October 2026 the sculpture has stood in the Rosenanlage / Freudenbergstrasse in Weinheim, as the starting point of a “Path of Remembrance”.

What does peace really mean? What does a peaceful world look like? What kind of world do we want to live in? School students from Weinheim explored these questions in class together with their teachers. Their texts, poems and statements became bands of stainless steel letters that form a seemingly floating sphere.

The open sphere is visible from all sides. As viewers walk around it, the messages of peace gradually reveal themselves. They experience how words and fragments of text touch, enter into dialogue with one another and form a fabric like a manifesto directed towards the future.
