Rolling Horse, Contemporary sculpture at Berlin Hauptbahnhof, Germany
The Rolling Horse sculpture rises 9.7 meters tall and 8.7 meters wide, representing a horse figure within a railway wheel at Berlin Central Station.
The sculpture stands on a base incorporating glass windows that display remnants of the former Lehrter Bahnhof, which preceded Berlin Hauptbahnhof at this location.
The sculpture includes four rotating face masks at the shoulder area, symbolizing the progression of seasons through spring, summer, autumn, and winter.
Two 30-meter stainless steel rails extend from the base, illuminated by blue recessed floor lights that guide visitors toward the sculpture's location.
The 35-ton structure combines aluminum, polished steel, stone, and glass elements, merging industrial materials with artistic expression in a public transportation setting.
