CITIES - sculptures and land art
Alzey-Weinheim
Der Ring is an enclosed space surrounded by 64 Ironwood
or Hornbeam (Carpinus Betula) trees. In the center of the ring
is a large natural rock which functions a a focal point. It
is the purported throne of Wotan who may have been the father
of the Rhinemaidens, Woglind, Wellgundeeandand Floßhilde.
Ironwood can reach an age of hundreds of years. During this
period the interior space will be accessible; but when the diameters
of the trunks begin to close the spaces between the individual
trees, the inner are will slowly close.
In Alzey-Weinheim
during the annual Europäisches Naturkunst Festival the
2011 Land Art symposium was organized. Der Ring has been realized
during the 2011 symposium near the Weinkirche.
