Competition: Wettbewerb für ein Freiheits- und Einheitsdenkmal
Name of Entry: Sinfonie der Freiheit
The competition was about a monument for the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall and the German reunification.
Monument of freedom and unity – a sinfonia of freedom
The concept toys with the three colors of the German ensign: black, red and gold. These colors represent freedom and national unity since the early 19th century. Two flags, each with three oscillating ribbons, merge into a walk-in choreography of black, red and gold. It also reminds of some kind of labyrinth – just like the lapse of German history. The place of location of the monument is an old base of a 19th century national monument which was demolished in 1949/50.
