Bruno Weber Park, Sculpture park in Spreitenbach, Switzerland.
Bruno Weber Park is a sculpture garden in Spreitenbach and Dietikon, Switzerland, created by artist Bruno Weber from 1962. It covers 15,000 square metres and features concrete sculptures covered in colourful mosaic tiles, including a 12-metre-high entrance tower and a 25-metre villa tower. The Wassergarten, opened in 2012, is surrounded by two 100-metre-long winged dog sculptures that form a footbridge.
Artist Bruno Weber founded this site in 1962 and built it into a large collection of sculptures and architectural elements over time. His artistic work shaped and expanded the space across decades.
Bruno Weber named his early concrete fountain the Source Goddess and called it "his Indian character". The dragon gate at the park entrance is the prototype of the Drachentor sculpture that represented Switzerland at Expo 1992 in Seville. Weber's widow Maria Anna Weber-Godon and their twin daughters have worked to keep the site running.
The park is accessible from March to November on Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays from 11 AM to 6 PM. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes and allow time to explore the pathways between the artworks.
The two 100-metre-long winged dogs that enclose the Wassergarten double as a footbridge, giving a view over nearly the whole garden except the wooded area to the northwest. The dragon gate at the park entrance is the prototype of the Drachentor sculpture that represented Switzerland at Expo 1992 in Seville.
