Open Monument Day

Open Monument Day

Guided tour through the city center – Radolfzell under the swastika

With the Reichstag elections in March 1933, the NSDAP became the strongest political force in Radolfzell. This also marked the beginning of the persecution of political opponents. In connection with the construction of the firing ranges for the barracks occupied by SS units in 1938, the town became a satellite camp of Dachau concentration camp. Forced laborers were used in Radolfzell businesses during the war years. The guided tour on Open Monument Day follows the traces of those years in the old town of Radolfzell.

About the Artothek

The Artothek, which was set up in the Villa Bosch in October 2015, offers art lovers the opportunity to borrow paintings and sculptures for a few months for a small fee. In addition, regional artists are given the opportunity to become visible. Each year, selected artists can add up to four of their works to the Artothek’s collection. Some works of art owned by the city were also included in the collection. The Artothek is managed by the municipal cultural office.

Further information about the Artothek and the current catalog can be found on the Internet at www.villabosch-radolfzell.de/artothek-kunst-zum-ausleihen/

Sculpture trail at the forest cemetery

The cemetery can not only be a place of remembrance, but also a place of encounter and cultural diversity: With this in mind, the sculpture trail was established at Radolfzell Forest Cemetery in 2022. A wide variety of sculptures by 16 regional artists can be discovered at the popular open-air art exhibition.

Due to its popularity, the permanent exhibition has been extended until May 2025.

Works by the following members of the Baden-Württemberg Association of Freelance Sculptors will be on display: Claudia Dietz, Jan Douma, Heike Endemann, Claudia Dietz, OMI Riesterer, Susanna Giese, Barbara Jäger, Jörg Failmezger, Uli Gsell, Birgit Rehfeldt, Rüdiger Seidt, Christoph Traub and Frank Teufel. Vincenz Repnik from Radolfzell will also be exhibiting his sculpture “Schutzmanteltaube”.

A flyer on the sculpture trail, on which all the works of art are illustrated and described, can be viewed and downloaded from the website of the cultural office: https://kulturbuero-radolfzell.de/veranstaltung/skulpturenpfad-auf-dem-waldfriedhof/. Further flyers can be found in an information box on the sculpture trail itself.

All the sculptures are placed in the greenery along a path that stretches between the main entrance and the chapel of the Radolfzell Forest Cemetery. The path is accessible for self-guided tours during the cemetery’s opening hours.

The Radolfzell forest cemetery (Kapellenweg 100, 78315 Radolfzell) can be reached from the town center in ten minutes by bike or conveniently by bus line 4.

The sculptures on display are for sale.

Flyer sculpture trail

Archaic – Organic

The sculptor Pi Ledergerber creates extraordinary stone sculptures that have an astonishingly fragile effect, yet are completely stable. The individual elements of his sculptures made of marble or basalt appear to be loosely stacked or unstably layered, but are always created from a single block through sophisticated saw cuts and are therefore solid. Ledergeber’s works thus explore the tension between heaviness and lightness, appearing both archaically reduced and vividly animated. The artist lives and works in Hohenfels.

The painter and draughtsman Dieter Konsek deals with themes of growth and development in his mostly large-format compositions. The starting point for his gestural-expressive paintings and drawings are intensive observations of nature, which he dissolves openly and fragilely into organic growth processes using acrylic paint, charcoal and pastel chalk on canvas and paper, while at the same time powerfully condensing them. Dynamics, rhythm and transformation characterize the elementary expression of his nature-related works. The artist lives and works in Wilhelmsdorf near Ravensburg.
