Gate
Wolfgang Gramm’s sculpture "Gate" is part of his „Druid Stones“ series and is a landmark for the city of Büdelsdorf. The sculpture is placed on the traffic island in the city entrance and welcomes visitors who approach the city from the highway. Four tapered blocks from Anroechter green stone stand upright together, with narrow gaps. In the middle a halved granite boulder with a smoothly polished underside almost seems to float. The monumental sculpture is reminiscent of the millennium-old culture and tradition of the megalithic tombs.
