Art and history: on a discovery tour through Hanover and Hildesheim!
Celle, Deutschland - A special trip is imminent! The Kunstkreis 84 Riedlingen, under the direction of Barbara Bulander and Waltraut Jerger, organized his annual trip, which is entirely devoted to art, architecture and gardens. The group is accompanied by Berno Kirchhoff. The tour leads to the beautiful cities of Hanover, Hildesheim, Celle and Fulda and offers exciting insights into these culturally rich regions.
But what is behind these cities and their reconstruction? Hanover was badly affected in the Second World War and suffered from 95 percent. This sad chapter is also taken into account during the city tour. City models are presented in the new town hall of Hanover, which show the different eras from 1689 to 1939 to today. In a city tour, the participants also discover how many medieval buildings have resurrected.
works of art that inspire
A special highlight of the trip are over 200 works of art that can be found in Hanover. This includes the famous Nanas by Niki de Saint Phalle, which are in the mansion gardens. These works of art are not only colorful and striking, but also have an eventful story that goes back to 1969. At that time, Niki de Saint Phalle began her relationship with Hanover with a retrospective at the Kunstverein Hanover and later received an order for a permanent installation near the town hall. Your three nanas, each over five meters high and made of fiberglass and polyester color, became a symbol for the redesign of the city and are an integral part of cultural life in Hanover, as well as niki de saint phalle
The reactions of the citizens to the nanas were mixed; While some appreciated the color joy and the message of the works of art, opponents saw in the DM 180,000, which cost the installation, better invested money for education and health. Ultimately, a public dialogue in which around 2,000 residents took part, so that the nanas are still part of the cityscape.
A look at Hildesheim and Celle
But the art trip not only goes to Hanover. Hildesheim and Celle are also on the program. In Hildesheim, the participants can expect a World Heritage Site: the magnificent Michaeliskirche with its impressive ceiling picture from the 13th century and the cathedral with its unique cycling and bronze doors attract everyone's attention. Similar to Hannover, Hildesheim has been a dramatic reconstruction, especially after the destruction in March 1945, when many historical facades were reconstructed.
Celle, on the other hand, can score with the largest half -timbered ensemble in Europe, which has been preserved almost undamaged from the period between the 16th and 19th centuries. While the group strolls through the romantic streets, it becomes clear how important the preservation of the historical structure is for the residents.
Fulda and the castle garden
The trip is rounded off with a visit to Fulda, where the impressive cathedral and the idyllic palace garden invite you to linger. On this trip, not only art and architecture is conveyed, but also the awareness of the historical development of cities after the war. Because, as the story shows, the post -war period did not lack challenges: over a third of the population lived partly in emergency accommodation, and numerous discussions about the reconstruction of the destroyed cities shaped the political landscape of the years, as on Planet knowledge is described in detail.It remains exciting to see how the art group 84 Riedlingen takes up all of these impressions and experiences in the Lüneburg Heath as well as the cities visited. The trip not only promises aesthetic enrichment, but also a deep understanding of the cultural transformation that these places have experienced. Art and architecture tell the stories of reconstruction, renewal and a look into the past that invites us to re -look at the present.
