Sprechende Laternen, Animated sculpture ensemble in Celle, Germany
Five lantern sculptures form a family group in the old town square, each with distinct physical characteristics and individual personalities represented through their design.
The lantern ensemble was established in 2007 to commemorate 150 years since the installation of the first gas lanterns in Celle.
Professional radio and television personalities lend their voices to each lantern character, delivering stories about the city's heritage through automated recordings.
The lanterns operate daily from 10:00 to 13:00 and 15:00 to 18:30, activated by motion sensors when visitors stand in the center of the installation.
Two lanterns can function in live mode during special events, with hidden speakers enabling direct interactions between the sculptures and passing visitors.
