Blaues Klavier, Contemporary art installation in Aschaffenburg, Germany.
The Blaues Klavier is a blue concrete sculpture shaped like a piano, positioned on the grass in Schöntal park near the main pathway connecting Roßmarkt and City-Galerie shopping center.
Artist Werner Kiesel created this concrete installation in October 1993, choosing durable materials to withstand outdoor weather conditions while maintaining the artwork's structural integrity and visual appeal over decades.
The sculpture draws inspiration from expressionist poet Else Lasker-Schüler's poem 'Das blaue Klavier', creating a meaningful connection between literature, music, and visual arts within Aschaffenburg's urban landscape.
Located at Goldbacher Straße 7 with limited wheelchair accessibility, the artwork remains easily reachable on foot from major attractions including Johannisburg Castle and the collegiate church.
This installation represents one of Germany's few concrete piano sculptures, merging contemporary artistic expression with expressionist poetry in a freely accessible public space setting.
