Speaking stones and art: Fürstenwerder attracts with summer exhibition!

Speaking stones and art: Fürstenwerder attracts with summer exhibition!

In the small community of Fürstenwerder, an exciting project is created that brings the history and culture of the place in a completely new way to life. The association Mittenmang in Fürstenwerder e.V., which is committed to shaping its surroundings, plays a central role here. Ralf-Dieter Schulz, a local advertising specialist, has developed the vision of showing local resources, including the impressive city wall and the picturesque lakes. His goal is to make the centuries -old stories and legends of the village, especially those of the great boulders, in a modern way. The largest of these stones measures considerable 35 square meters and is part of an exciting local legend that now serves to fascinate the visitors of the region.

Schulz, who has headed the leisure center in Fürstenwerder for 25 years, has drawn his inspiration from the experiences with the children of the village and wrote a book entitled "Fürstenwerder and the speaking stones". Despite several financial hurdles in book pressure - the independently organized pressure has been postponed again and again - his enthusiasm remains unbroken. A fundraiser two years ago brought in 500 euros that were used for an art exhibition in the multicultural center. This exhibition, which now takes place annually, has significantly increased the capacity of the exhibition areas and enables 17 artists from the area to present their works.

art and stories in focus

A particularly innovative aspect of the project are the QR codes that are attached to the stones. These codes will enable visitors to call up audio recordings and information that tell more about the stories of the stones and the surrounding area. This interactive component should not only encourage curiosity, but also strengthen the connection between history and current experiences. In addition, the city wall circuit is enriched with willow sculptures and lovingly designed green areas, which designs the overall picture even more appealing.

Another highlight of the season is a painting competition for elementary school students, whose works can be seen from July 21 to 25 as part of the art exhibition. Participation is not only rewarded, but also supported by sponsors who provide prices for all children. The ceremonial conclusion of the children's exhibition is a concert by Tino Eisbrenner on July 25th at 7 p.m. The Mittenmang in Fürstenwerder e.V. acts as a sponsoring association of the summer exhibition, which will open on July 27 at 7 p.m. - followed by a buffet and refreshing drinks.
