Luftfahrtsymbol, Steel sculpture in Schönefeld, Germany
The Luftfahrtsymbol is a steel sculpture in Schönefeld that combines geometric forms and industrial elements to represent aviation themes. The work uses its angular structure and reflective material to create a strong visual presence in the public space.
The sculpture was created in 1984 by artist Achim Kühn during a period of major changes in German aviation and transportation development. Its creation marks a time when public art was increasingly used as a symbol of regional technological advancement.
The sculpture embodies the deep relationship between this area and aviation, functioning as a public marker of the region's role in transportation and industrial development. Visitors see this connection reflected in how the work integrates into the district's landscape and architecture.
The sculpture is located near Berlin Brandenburg Airport and serves as a clear reference point for visitors exploring the area. The work is easily accessible from multiple viewpoints and offers good photo opportunities from various angles.
The metal construction displays specialized welding techniques and reacts to changing light, with surfaces creating different reflections depending on the time of day. This dynamic quality means each visit offers a new visual perspective on the same artwork.
