Description
Skulpturenpark Deutsche Einheit is a sculpture garden at the former border crossing between Bavaria and Thuringia, with artworks in steel, glass, and wood. The site spreads across multiple hectares and integrates open spaces with individual installations.
History
The park was created after 1990 on the former death strip between East and West Germany at the location of the Eußenhausen-Henneberg border crossing. This transformation into an art space marks the shift that followed German reunification.
