Heinrich-Heine-Denkmal

The Heinrich-Heine monument displays fragmented facial elements emerging from a cubic structure made of pipes, creating an intricate visual composition.

The monument commemorates Heinrich Heine, a German poet born in 1797 who emigrated to Paris in 1831 and died there in 1856.

The sculpture incorporates elements such as drums and symbolic objects that reference Heine's literary works and his role as a social critic.

The monument measures 2.5 meters in height, 5 meters in width, and 8 meters in depth, allowing visitors to walk among its components.

The design uses an enlarged version of Heine's death mask, deconstructed into separate pieces that form a three-dimensional interpretation.
