Dieses Skulpturenpaar schuf der Bildhauer Erwin Wortelkamp zur Buga 2011 aus zwei Robinienstämmen, die der preußische Gartenbaumeister Lenné 1860 genau hier zur Neugestaltung des Schlossvorplatzes gepflanzt hatte. BürgerInnen der Stadt haben durch ihre Spenden den Verbleib der Skulpturen über die Buga hinaus ermöglicht. Sie leisten damit ihren Beitrag zum Leitgedanken: Koblenz verwandelt.

The sculptor Erwin Wortelkamp created this pair of sculptures for the 2011 Federal Garden Show from two black locust tree trunks. The Prussian landscape architect Lenné had planted these trees at this very spot in 1860 as part of the redesign of the palace forecourt. Donations from the city’s residents enabled the sculptures to remain after the garden show. In doing so, they contributed to its guiding theme: Koblenz transforms.
