Endlose Treppe, Granite sculpture near Wilhelm-Hack-Museum in Ludwigshafen, Germany
The Endlose Treppe consists of nineteen winding steps made from North American granite that rise to a height of ten meters in downtown Ludwigshafen.
Swiss artist Max Bill created this sculpture in 1991 to commemorate philosopher Ernst Bloch, incorporating geometric abstraction principles into the design.
The sculpture represents the principle of hope through its ascending steps, encouraging visitors to engage physically with the philosophical concepts of Ernst Bloch.
The monument stands at coordinates 49°28′49″N 8°26′38″E, accessible to visitors who want to walk the steps or observe the geometric patterns.
The steps form a continuous loop that allows people to walk endlessly upward without changing direction, creating an intriguing physical paradox.
