Kunstgrenze Konstanz-Kreuzlingen
The art border Kreuzlingen - Constance is unique in Europe. Instead of being separated by a fence, 22 sculptures by the artist Johannes Dörflinger mark the border between Germany and Switzerland.
On the shores of Lake Constance, on the "Little Venice" site, the first art border has been running since 2007. In 2006, the city leaders of Kreuzlingen and Constance cut through the fence, which was erected in 1938. Where the lake area was extended by 300 metres in the 70s, the art border now stands.
The sculptures were created by the Constance artist Johannes Dörflinger. They represent the trump cards of the Tarot and show motifs such as "magician", "love", "chariot", "wheel of fortune", "female and male power", "death and rebirth". The motifs symbolize the conditions of human existence. The sculptures are eight meters high, made of stainless steel and painted in hummingbird red above the light gray base. They blend harmoniously between the existing trees and are illuminated at night. They appear light and permeable and allow the viewer a variety of different perspectives:
