Rhine Orange, Steel sculpture at Rhine-Ruhr confluence, Duisburg, Germany.
The Rhine Orange sculpture measures 25 meters in length, 8 meters in width, and 1 meter in height, constructed entirely of painted steel in bright orange.
In 1992, local entrepreneurs and the Lehmbruck Museum collaborated to create this landmark at the meeting point of two major German rivers, the Rhine and Ruhr.
The sculpture connects to Duisburg's industrial legacy through its steel construction and marks the endpoint of the Ruhr cycle trail for recreational activities.
The structure serves as a navigational reference point for river vessels and stands at Rheinkilometer 780, marking the exact location where the Ruhr flows into the Rhine.
The name combines the river Rhine with the color orange, corresponding to RAL 2004 in the standardized color system, while weighing 83 tons.
