Gießener Kunstweg, Sculpture garden at University of Giessen, Germany

The Gießener Kunstweg extends through the campus between Philosophikum I and II, featuring 15 sculptures by international artists in open spaces and university buildings.

The art trail began in 1982 through the initiative of Professor Gottfried Boehm, with funding from the Hessian Special Construction Fund for artistic design.

The collection includes notable works such as Stephan Balkenhol's 7.5-meter-tall 'Mann im Turm' and Ulrich Rückriem's granite installation 'Tor' from 1984.

Visitors can walk from Otto-Behaghel-Straße near the new cafeteria to Karl-Glöckner-Straße at House C, discovering thirteen outdoor sculptures and two indoor pieces.

The trail incorporates Bruno K's expansive 'Wagengruppe' installation, measuring 8 by 5.5 meters, and Vincenzo Baviera's steel and concrete 'Räderwerk Nord'.
