Tübingen Fresco

Петрозаводск, Онежская набережная

On the Oнежская Embankment in Pyotrozavodsk there is an unusual sculpture called "Tübingen Panel". It was created by German artists Bernhard Vogelmann and Kurt Geißelhardt at the factory "Pyotrozavodskmash". The composition consists of 61 metal poles of different heights, shapes and colors, each containing stones from historical places in Karelia and Germany. Symbols of grief, joy and unity are embodied in the form and arrangement of the poles. Local residents call it differently: "Monument to a set of lock picks", "Thinking reed", "Parachutist's death". Installed in 1994.
