Streitmotiv und Dialogmotiv

Motives for Dispute and Dialogue

Stefan Kaehne & Konscha Schostak
1988

Description

Two pairs of figures of yellow-grey sandstone attached to the facade of the Gedächtniskirche. The pair to the left consists of two men who use their body language to illustrate the topic of 'dispute'. The pair to the right consists of a man and a woman illustrates the topic of 'dialogue'.
The underlying idea of the figures 'admonition and reconciliation' takes up the theme of the tower ruins of the Gedächtniskirche, which as a memorial reminds of the destruction in World War II and calls for reconciliation and lasting peace.
