Artworks in public space.
The sculpture "Never Again!" made of corten steel was created by artist and writer Gerhard Gröner (Wissen) and installed in the summer of 2021.
This artwork is conceptually based on forward-looking core statements in favor of our value democracy. Contrary to all excesses of extreme political fringes, humane principles are engraved here, e.g., Never again hatred, Never again exclusion, or Never again violence. The straight, distinctive shape of the X is inspired by the original Schöffen seal of Wissen from the year 1539. Furthermore, the St. Andrew's cross is an internationally recognized symbol for respect or caution. The form of the tent roof symbolizes protection for democratic understanding. The sculpture emphasizes what we hope for, what we desire, and what we want to shape. It addresses what we never want to experience again, for ourselves, our children, and the political landscape.
The artwork is shown in the photo immediately after installation in its raw state, has since been treated with noble rust, and stands on a natural pedestal made of local greywacke.
The material costs were covered by the cultural support association kulturWERKwissen e. V.
