Freedom and unity monument in Berlin
Freedom and unity
monument in Berlin
Out off the partly very sombre history of Germany there was a development
to a democratic and liberal system. Freedom lies in the tension field between
the needs of individuals and societies. Limits to the individual freedom are
set to the singles by the needs of other people - the freedom itself is not
free.
Two massive, archaically concret cubes pretend the social systems basing
on very different basic understanding before the reunion: West-Germany with an
economy Market and Eastern Germany with a socialist system. These are
confronted apparently incompatibly, however, are same to themselves in the
formal reduction. Every concrete cube forms as a pole the starting point of a
steel sculpture which rises as a tension curve between both poles. The
contradicting poles are connected and float in the middle freely.
The steel sculpture with a lenght from about 70 m is a body and
construction at the same time. Steel body with a wall strength of approx. 20 mm
is passable inside. Names, symbols of the respectivly political and social
system are punched. From the Poles in whom the subject "Division" is
worked on the holes in the steel grow bigger and bigger to the middle, holes
which stand for the new freedom, as for example Willi Brandt's kneeling down.
The population should be involved by means of Internet forum in the creation of
the words and symbols. Beginning from the concrete cubes the steel way has few
small views, becomes the middle brighter and brighter with many punched out
sheets, so that a more and more aerial and more transparent impression
originates. In the apex the sky and the new castle can be looked, because
approx. half of the steel is cut out. The insecurity of the freedom is also
expressed by the transparency of the construktion at approx 4 m above the
ground. The anthracite-coloured, flatly ferro-concrete cubes with a side length
of 7 m which mark at the same time the entrance of the steel sculpture.
Where earlier the monument of Wilhelm I stood, now there is a tower with
a base of 3 x 3 m and a height of 15 m. Also out of steel with a glass cube on
the head. In the steel is cut out: We are the people. The tower stand for the
government, who watches in principal over the freedom of their nation. Out of
the sides from steel leaves are also punched out, so that from the inside the
impression originates to stand in a wood. During the journey from a higher and
higher vantage point the sphere of the place can be seen. Instead of the bronze
horse a plastic horse in the lift mounted on which one can stay approx. 12 m
about the place for a short time until the lift goes down again. This should
serve as a portrait for the fact that everybody stands for the freedom of a
democracy. The entry into this column is used for the financing and the
preservation of the sculpture. The remaining layer surfaces are restored, so
far preserved.
